Peppers & chillis

[danihigginson]

Have grown a couple of chilli plants & a pepper/capsicum plant from seed this year, have brought all inside as it's got colder. Capsicums are rippening, chillis don't seem to be doing much. Am willing to stick with them, but do I need to prune them before they get to play outside again next spring/summer? Some sites I've looked at have recommended pruning but they seem to be US sites. Any advice welcome

Good evening Dani and welcome to the site.

Hi Dani..

A UK site with lots to say about overwintering chillies is The Chileman. I am going to take their advice and both attempt to overwinter my best plants AND save some seed to start afresh next year.
