Easy pepper over winter experiment

It's advantages to over winter peppers. They produce so much earlier than when they are started from seed
I don't enjoy the process. Dig it out, prune it way back. Put it in the greenhouse. Keep it watered, but not much water. It takes up space. Some make it, some don't (it's getting better each year,) I decided to try overwinter a couple in place. I pruned it back, used a bunch of shredded cardboard to heavily mulch, and put a clear plastic bin over them. I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.
