They may not be 'best tasting' but they flower and probably have a better chance to ripen if you get the timing right. I also made a mistake in leaving my plant outside last October when we had high winds. All the plant leaves got 'shredded' which isn't an issue EXCEPT it made cleaning the spider mites difficult all winter long when my plant was indoors.
I will have more pups than brains in a few months if you can wait. IF not, I obtained my VC from a member in Puerto Rico.
and the next hand is now visible.... Looks like more fingers this time!
