I've had an excellent crop of chillies and peppers, some are still green though is it too late to expect them to ripen? have been growing them in a unheated greenhouse
-
If they are in pots, could you bring them indoors?
-
Texas if you are in the south of the UK they may well continue to ripen in the greenhouse for another couple of weeks
-
Have already had temperatures as low as 7C here, Sunny :ohmy: that's why I thought it would be better to bring them in :unsure:

They will continue to ripen, but get them in or off the plant if real cold threatens. If it stays mild then you could sill be harvesting for a few more weeks. Been a great year for Chillies this year!
