Still Flowering: 2 of my Chilli Plants are flowering in December!

Most of what you read on the web about the chilli growing season is for people in the hotter parts of the USA growing them outside.

Here in the UK, we can't grow them outside at all really (tried...failed!). Most people I think end up growing them in the house, often a conservatory, where it's warmer.

This can come up with some results that are somewhat contradictory to the mainstream advice on chilli growing!

For example, flowers in December...






Take it with a slight pinch of salt though, most of these flowers are falling off because it gets a little chilly and there's no real sun to speak of in December so I guess the lack of daylight is not helping. But, I thought it worth mentioning...
