is there any point of overwintering and how is it done

3 out of 6 that I kept should make it.

One of them (the red savina) now has around 100 flowers on it!

Wow 100 flowers! What verities have made it mate?

I have two successfully over wintered out of three a numex twilight and one I can't remember. Lollipop stick didn't last and I forgot to relabel.

red savina, hab orange, and my already 2 year old fairy light should all make it.

I also have a tokyo hot plant on the window sill in work, that one should also make it.

I am dead chuffed with the fairy light, fingers crossed this will be its third year. I will be keeping seed from it this summer hopefully!!!!!

Bad week for me
Looks like a few have decided they don't want to make it

Sad indeed TMU - I've got 1 of my 3 looking a bit sad - just as the other 2 have started growing strongly again.

I brought 12 in in November to see how many survive. So far I have possibly 5 survivors - 3 definites and 2 possibly-maybes. Lemon drops seem to want to live the most.

I'm not sure I will bother next year - am bored of being on constant thrip/aphid-watch.

I started off with 5 and lost 2 they were an orange hab and a Palermo pointed pepper
I've got an orange hab, a shop bought plant, a cape gooseberry which has probably faired the best which I've took cuttings from and a chocolate sweet pepper

I think 5 of mine have made it through. One of them is going into its third year.However, we are not out of February yet so |i am not counting chicks just yet.

Hey guys I've finally changed to a bigger pot for my fuego F1. I cut it down a while ago, not sure if I did it the way it's ment to be done but it's still alive anyway. Anybody think this guy will fruit and if so when? Cheers

This is my overwintered chilli plant about 2 weeks after I reported the dude, also fed it some tomato feed last Saturday and will do the same this Saturday

I've got a Dorset Naga and a Fatali which have survived! WOOO! First overwintering success!

Grim chilli how many years have you been trying? I've only been gardening a couple of years and touch wood might have a couple that have survived, just wondering if it is usually a lot harder?

Darcy I lost a few so when it was at its coldest I sat them on a heated mat and wrapped the pot in bubble wrap, this seemed to help I also shoved a load of old t shirts in around the window to stop any drafts

I sowed my sweet peppers (California mix) way too late last year - June I think! - in the hope that they might give me a small crop that year. Needless to say that didn't happen, but I brought them into the house when it started getting colder and they looked far too healthy to throw them out. They've recently been overrun by fungus gnat even though I kept the compost fairly dry, and all three plants have some degree of leaf curl. But much to my surprise they suddenly burst into life about a week ago and new leaves are appearing all over all three plants. I gave them a liquid feed last week and will give them slightly bigger pots soon as roots are starting to grow out of these pots. I have got new seedlings in case these die, but fingers crossed they will make it through!
