I sowed them at the end of Feb the season before and could not get them to ripen , so this season they went in around new years day and it seems to have worked.
The plants are looking very poor now tho and seem on there last legs.

Looks great, I just grow the standard bell peppers and all are eaten when green, usually leave a few on but they never change to red.

Does this variety produce plenty of peppers per plant?

The plants that are straight in the ground in my greenhouse I had to pinch out the tops to stop them producing, I would say there are around 15-20 fruits per plant all various sizes at the mo but I do not think all will ripen.

There's a thread here http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=113897.msg1305559#msg1305559, which suggests you can overwinter peppers if you can find somewhere with a minimum temperature of about 10C and they should give a larger crop.

My plan is to dig up my peppers and put them into small pots to try and overwinter them, planting them out again in the spring.

The worst that happens is they don't survive in which case I'm no worse off.

Yep - I think overwintering is worth a go if you have the space. I',\going to try with a couple of chilli plants that have been late developers this year but look like they could have given a really good crop given a bit more time.

Cheers,
