I can understand the problems. My front patio is a mass of dropped leaves and the chillies are looking sick and on the way out.. We are undergoing a record cold winter with weeks where the temp does not exceed 11c...Sun with warmth is a distant memory. I am quite certain that the chillies will shortly resemble sticks. However based on the past with the return of the sun I will trim off the obviously dead parts ,add some fertiliser and hit them with some good compost and most ( If not all will respond )
Here is the strange one though...
I have a Jalapeno in a pot which is cracked and in any case is too heavy to move so I have had to leave it in the open, uncovered in the cold, frost,rain etc completely exposed and yet it is still bearing ( pic ) and shows no sign of going into hibernation or weather effects....Cant work it out and not asking questions !...Perhaps this variety is either more hardy or has a different genetic makeup...don't know !
