We have more chillis than we need, though only a fraction of @yvan's harvest.
Plants are now in the same bedroom as last winter where they struggled compared with the cooler lighter room they were in the previous year, so I'm trying some grow lights. Keeping them less dormant might be a mistake, but we'll see.

@armb the best overwintering success I've had so far has been keeping plants under grow lights in the warmest room in the house - the plants having some leaf on throughout. Hell, one plant even slowly grew some fruit! But even then I just don't seem to get the vigour I'd hope for the next season, and fresh seedlings seem to catch up. Perhaps I need to feed more, earlier... I don't feed much TBF, they probably need more. I do fully repot them in the early spring though, fresh soil... maybe that is too much of a shock!

Hardest part seems to be getting the soil moisture right... just to the damper side of totally parched.
