Overwintered chilli plants

Morning all,

I have some very healthy looking Chilli plants that I have overwintered, I have just realised that I totally forgot to cut them back! ????

I only sowed them from seed last year so they are only coming up to one year old. My question is, is the fact that I forgot to cut them back the end of the world? They already have a few flowers on, and were producing chillies right up until about December I think, from memory.

They are definitely in need of repotting and feeding, should I do this asap bearing in mind they are starting to flower again already?

They are the pot black variety in case anyone would like to know.

Many thanks,

Lauren

    When I over-wintered chillies I only cut the back if they were too big.  If yours are already flwoering I wouldn't cut them back but yes, pot them on  and give them a good feed and drink to encourage more flowers and fruits.
