My chenzos that I am attempting to overwinter have started to produce flower buds on the main stalk. Is this normal or are they just very confused? They still have a fair amount of fruit on too.

My cayenne peppers are now in their third year and despite being chopped down to about 8" they are still flowering (reminds me of Monty Python's "Black Knight"!)

I keep telling them they need to have a rest (and then I snip the flowers off!)

They do actually seem to want to crop the whole year round, and have done since I started them off (grown on a south-facing windowsill.)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

The problem I always have with bringing chillis indoors over winter is they always instantly get savaged by those tiny flies. They're constantly covered with horrible sticky stuff and all the wiping or squirting in the world doesn't get rid of them. The only thing that seems to work is sticking them outside for a few hours, which at this time of year I daren't risk.
