I'm going to be overwintering most of mine in those little zip-up greenhouses which are next to the house and in a suntrap so hopefully some may survive. I'll take a couple inside in case they decide to freeze out there. Worth a go ...!

Having said about the Cheyenne's not being too hot, I do like the Habanero types as well so have bought a few of the following seeds to try for next year! Chocolate Habanero, White Habanero also some Red Scotch Bonnet yum love them! , I also have some Jalapeno Purple and some Hot Lemon C baccatum Lemon Drop, which are Very hot lemon flavoured and scented chilli pepper, suitable for drying and freezing, Green fruits up to 5cm long mature to yellow. Plant height approx 60cm pic of the Hot lemon also below! Cant wait for next year!
I'm almost tempted to try go grow some more of the Cheyenne's now and keep them indoors, see what happens! They are about the smallest plant among the seeds I have.

Handy tip about the tumble dryer; I just thought it was lovely and warm but I suppose it would be pretty damp in there as we have a condensor TD too. I think I'll have to build a contraption in the spare bedroom to put all my plants on - our terraced house doesn't get much winter sun!RtB x

My Cayenne chilli plant is flowering - on the kitchen windowsill.
It has lost some leaves, but new ones are growing. I didn't cut it back at all; am keeping it damp not moist; I'm squishing greenfly on a regular basis (always a nuisance with indoor plants) and picked off the big fat green caterpillar that was munching it.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
