Chilli peppers.

hi all

can anyone tell me if my chilli and peppers plants will grow next year if kept in my greenhouse (unheated) or will they snuff it and i will have to grow somemore ?

thanks

 

Mine overwinter on the kitchen windowsill. Once I've removed the last fruits I leave them alone, then trim back in spring and off they go again.

I'd not let them go below 5degC, not sure how cold it gets in Stoke but I'd assume the plant should be indoors. Apparently with enough heat and light they'll keep producing through winter. I've not tried that yet but I have a surplus of plants this year so will test it out this year.

Anyone for chillied-turkey-surprise?

 

wow, those look fantastic - mine are very weedy by comparison, but they do have fruit on them and they are just in a plastic sheet "greenhouse" with the tomatoes, so i agree with strongylodon, you don't need to break into the local parks dept.s heated greenhouse, necessarily! :D I'm also trying aubergines... hmmm, least said, soonest mended, so far...

 

thanks for the info oogieboogie it gets quite cold in stoke over winter i will take the chance of leaving 1 chilli and 1 pepper plant in the greenhouse and bring the other 2 in and if they snuff i will start some more off next yr :D

 

any suggestions of what dishes you cook using the small green chillis please, i use for omelettes and obviously chilli, but bit stumped what else to use for.
