How to quickly ripen a chilli

[HotStuff]

Good to know, I have some patio sized ones which I can easily bring inside so I will do that!

It's worth the effort, despite the best efforts of aphids over the winter I have 2 Apaches, a Lantern and a Numex Twilight that I over-wintered that are now all laden with fruit again.

Did they fruit faster the second year?

Have you tried telling an embarassing story of it's childhood?

I've been known to turn people red at 30 paces with similar such tictacs.

Not sure if they were faster this year. As it was the first time I'd over-wintered Chillies it seemed like an age before I saw signs of new growth, but once they started growing again they romped away and they've definitely got more Chillies on than last year.
