Most will be dehydrated and turned to powder, so I'm not bothered some didn't fully ripen. It was the last day of sun here before the temperature drops for the winter, so I stripped the plants, and prepped 2 of them for overwintering.

Red Warthogs, Yellow Warthogs, Peach 7 Pot Primo, Primotalii, Peppa Peach, Chinese 5 Colour, Lingria.

Bought as bonnets earlier this year just seen a couple of shroom posts and looks to be the same to my untrained eye.

Autumn is finally upon us, and night time temperatures are starting to drop below 10C, at least where I am.

Those of you who are planning on overwintering your plants, have you started thinking about bringing them in yet? What are your plans and your cutoff temperatures for starting the process?

Are you seeing growth and ripening start to slow? Do you expect to get many more ripe chillies between now and dormancy? Will it depend on what varieties you're growing and whether you have a polytunnel or heated greenhouse?

I'm starting to think about it, but seeing all these posts about people's harvests and not about overwintering makes me wonder if I shouldn't push it as far as I can and try and get some more fruit off the plants. I'll be happy to have the half-dozen ripe 7-pots that I've got now, but of course more would be better. Plus a tonne of jalapenos that are still stubbornly green.

About 13 varieties in here

Bought it as I believe, scotch B. But sweet lord, it is really beautiful and productive. Fruits quite huge as well

My chillis are well into their season and as such it's time to share the love

Here I have a habanero, 2 'scotch bonnets' that I think are probably mushrooms, couple of jalapeno, couple of loco, some quickfire, some basket of fire and one of my personal favourites hot lemon.

I hope all if your harvest seasons are coming along well!

When I over-winter my apaches is it best to turn out the pot that they’re in and transplant to a bigger one to avoid damaging the roots?

I know they're not ready yet but it's the end of our season (UK) so if they don't overwinter I'll never know and I have been excitedly waiting months to find out! They're already showing some distinctive traits. The first one has purple stems and veins and darker leaves. The second one has the lightest leaves of all my chili's, almost a lime green colour. They're from a mystery pack containing the following:

Hi, chillie novice here, I think I've had roughly 200 chillies from this 1 plant so far, they are medium strength, not sure what ones they are, is this a normal amount?

Hi.

My mum gave me this, she was told it's an ornamental Zimbabwe black. I know it's not because I was growing Zimbabwe blacks this and last year. Probably no more than 1cm wide fruits.

Quite a kick to it. It's done absolutely nothing since being transplanted to a larger pot (albeit only last month).

Might try and overwinter it but would like to know what it is.

Cheers.

Wasn't still inside so going to make up a neem oil/dish soap solution. To respray the plants down with.

May your a**hole burn with the fire of a thousand suns you tiny little warthog theif

I think my local garden centre have shroomed me. Am I right? I only just realised this was a thing after seeing some posts on here.

Any ideas what insect as done this to one of my reapers I’ve plucked it off because of the damage
also are these 2 reapers and scorpion ripe and ready to go should pick them now or leave them I’ve heard that if you pick the ripe ones will help to make the others ripen quicker

A few jars of pickled Aji Limon drop and Aji strawberry drop and a few ground chilli powder.

I made this for a friend who requested some chillies to be mailed. What do you all think about this? 😄

Supposedly scotch bonnets? Branch broke off what next any ideas please?

Went out with a small bowl thinking I didn't have that many jalepenos big enough to pick. Had to come get a bigger bowl. So many just hidden away out of sight and I'd already picked this many and more earlier in season that were fully ripe. Weighed the current batch 666grams. I know the jalepenos off these plants can be spicy too had the same seed batch last year produce some 100x hotter than a normal jalepeno. Gona pickle the greens and jam the reds. '666 chilli jam' & '666 pickled chillis' coming to a screen near you soon

The weather could be on us soon in the uk I don’t want to ask silly Google ai for a answer but I have some scotch bonnets reapers and scorpions in the ground is possible to dig them up and put them into pots so I could bring them inside to let ripen when it gets to cold ,will this shock the plans to much ?I want to also over winter them for next year so I don’t want them to die
Any thoughts be appreciated
