Jalapeno's still growing?

[Snadger]

Don't think I've ever had jallies survive so long into the autumn? Here's a piccie taken today!

pretty good going.
Mine all dropped their leaves a month ago

We started our tradition of Chili on Christmas Day due to the peppers we were growing on the balcony still growing in Early Dec. This was in Nottingham. Harvested them Christmas Eve and nommed on the Big Day.

Showoff!!!!!

All my chillies growing, but in my front porch, where it has been a minimum of about 3 degrees (-4 outside). They will go on through the winter there (hopefully ) unless the weather makes it drop below 0 in the porch and that needs to be about -6 or -7 outside.

But unprotected in a greenhouse? Very possible, I had some hold on for ages in a freezing polytunnel.

What's interesting in my greenhouse atm, is the low temps have killed off the tomato plants, but the remaining fruits seem to still be ok. Making me wonder if I should have left all the fruit on until now.

Mine still look pretty good in the greenhouse but I have noticed more fruits rotting on the plants than in the summer, I imagine caused by the increasing damp conditions.
I thought I might leave the plants in there (with additional fleece layers) and hope some come through the winter?

My Bolivian Rainbow are still growing (even fruit forming from flowers - just in an unheated greenhouse.. tempted just to leave them on to dry, but may overwinter one of the plants).

I've hardly watered them at all mind, keep forgetting - perhaps that's why? Cold soil, etc?

I have cut down my Bolivian Rainbow and Gindungo Cahombo, but they are in the unheated conservatory still producing fruit. Not for much longer, I suspect, as the forecast for next week is sub-zero.

I've just this week finished my harvest of my jalapenos.

That's with the strong winds blowing my panels out of the greenhouse and the frosts we had too.

we have harvested chillies in December before now, outdoor ones too, (albeit in a sheltered spot) off to hunt pics

That would make a good Christmas card for a chillie head!

Indeed, and that's why we took it, the gift was home pickled chillies too.

Mine are still growing in the greenhouse but I'm sure they'll be finished soon especially with the weather that's predicted for this weekend

Almost all of ours in a spare room whilst the OH and I argue about how best to preserve them. We have a lot of chilis...

I like the idea of giving them to everyone for Christmas!
