Digging up a chilli

<< < (2/2)

Sparkly:
I have done this really successfully with an apache plant. This year we had a frost in the greenhouse and the chilli plants were affected. I decided to save this plant:

I trimmed the plant down and left it on the windowsill for overwintering, but it is growing again already! It is praire fire and was very prolific this year. The fruits ripened to red and I probably got 200+ chillies on a small bush plant. They are hot too!

I dug an apache out of a grow-bag and put it in a pot. It is now in the kitchen and still fruiting like mad! As you say,Sparkly, they are hot! Don't think I'll bother sowing any new chillis next year, I've got plenty in the freezer.
