      I left my cut back overwintered plants in the sun room and they have made some new growth, was going to leave them in the garage but it's a bit of a bomb site at the moment. Had to spray them as there was a lot of whitefly

        I've left a jalapeno to do whatever it wants and the rest chopped right back to see if they survive...

          No room in the heated greenhouse so mine are taking their chances on the patio

              I think next year I am going to order some chilli plug seedlings to complement my overwintered ones instead of starting from seed. Does anyone have any recommendations? Spices on the Web looks good and is good value

              Thanks, forgot about those two. I searched my emails and I ordered plugs from world of chillis in 2017 and I've bought seeds from the chilli farm before too

              Now to decide what to order:scratch:

                I ordered Chilli plug plants from ebay this year, unfortunately what arrived were weak spindly seedlings, nothing like what the auction page showed. I got refunded and they told me to keep the plants. I persevered and some faded away whilst others eventually got going but were very late. I won't use ebay again.

                I have mixed results with eBay. Mostly good but those that aren't are refunded without any effort
