Fellow CH's,

The Cincinnati growing season is coming to a quick end.  The weather forecast 
for this weekend is below freezing temperatures plus snow and rain.  (Today 
it was 82.)  We have several good size chiles that just haven't matured 
(Super Chiles, Haitian Purples, Super Cayennes and Carribean Reds).  Found 
information on Pepper Joe's website about pulling the entire plant before the 
first freeze and hanging it upside down in a dry, airy location (a garage or 
basement).   The green peppers will ripen right on the plant.

Has anyone tried this or have a better technique?  If so, please send us some 
pointers or watch outs.  We're leaning towards putting the plants in the 
garage rather than the basement due to the possibility of bringing some 
unwanted critters into the house.
