 Hello, CHs everywhere. I just finished picking the last of the season, and
was wondering about plant care for the winter. Last year I just left my
chiles be and most came back, but getting a bit more serious now about the
growing(as well as the eating), Is it best to cut back any or all of the
plants before spring. It is a bit late in the season but they just kept on
producing although now it looks like getting cold.  We haven't had a frost
in the 3 years we've been here, but the area has. I have never tried to let
things go to the next year (last year I just never pulled them out)and would
really love to see some of these plants make it . Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
