Die Hard with a Pepper.
These photos were taken today, the new chillis appeared early and mid November. I'm gonna have to harvest them at some point, so here is the plant imortalised.

Looks good - had about 60 chillies off my plants so far with about the same amount yet to ripen, but the plants are all in the house of various windowsills.
Not bad for a first attempt at growing them - if I do say so myself

I cut my cayenne down to the ground about a month ago as it was looking a bit ropey. Will wait to see if it comes through the winter again. My Big Jim's and Bolivian Rainbow are still flowering and fruiting merrily in the greenhouse.

It surprises me that the plants continue to flower so late in the year. Mine are hibernating at the moment, leaves fall of them from time to time.
Can't wait till spring!  The Gardener

 I think this one is Prairie Fire. It still looks as good today and is producing flowers. It's 2 years old. I hope it lasts a long time.

It is a beautiful ornamental plant and useful as well!!! My brother has a two year old basil plant which trives on a south facing window sil ( indoors ) and it is a pleasure to have fresh basil in the winter months. It will be interesting to see how long will last your plant. Regards Don Vincenzo

Looks pretty similar to my Prairie Fire which I am currently overwintering. Never bothered keeping a chilli plant before so will see how it goes. Mine is only in it's first winter but still has some ripened chillis on so all good so far.

My chilli plants never fruited last year, following a huge harvest the previous year. Very disappointing! However, as the growing season drew to an end, they were flowering, but it was just too cold in my unheated greenhouse and the frost got them.
Advice for this year please? Can I pot one up to grow on and over-winter in the house? I don't have a conservatory or anything like that (although on reflection, I suppose they actually get quite cold through the winter). Would it be ok just on a sunny window sill?

I wonder if Prairie Fires are the same as a packet of seeds I bought called 'hot patio sizzle'. They look very similar to the ones on the cover.
 It would have been more helpful if the company had given the exact name of the chillis on the packet  rather than a description. I've planted 3 recently and so far 2 have appeared. Note to Sun... Now would be a good time! The Gardener

I usually just grow them for 1 year Joey and start anew the next year. Some I've tried to overwinter just didn't do anything. But the Prairie Fire I posted the pic of above is again covered in flowers and raring to go. It will be its 3rd year.

Joey, chillies are not hardy so unless you have the space to overwinter them in the house,or want to heat your greenhouse all winter , they will not get through from one year to the next. My Prairie Fire was kept as a houseplant. Hope this makes it clear.
