    Can't.
    The squash has grown all over them, lol.

    I had underestimated the squash ambitions, but ya well. I can grab a pack of chiliies from my granpa for Xmas, fiery things hot with italian summer heat.

    Actually my plants are still thriving and fruiting under their squash canopy, but I don't know how longit will last :rolleyes:

    Hi Init, it is easy to overwinter them but they do much better if they are kept in a warm room with plenty of light. I keep mine in the lounge on a table by the french doors and windows. Although they will drop some leaves they will continue to grow and will need constant pruning to keep them bushy and not lanky. They cetainly get a head start on growing them from seed and we have been picking the occasional ones since about Feb/March and they have been cropping fairly well this month.

    Apart from cooking with them we eat them raw with most meals (not breakfast :D) and give some to friends.
