I see Salsa, plenty of ABT's and green tomato mince meat being made this week.

If we don't get frost on the weekend I'll have another picking at least.

I planted Jalapenos in the hope to make chipotles.

They've been in the ground for 6+ months and I haven't got even 1 off them yet.

I'm a bit jealous looking at that haul :)

I did manage to make some very nice sauce witch my habaneros though, which grew much better.

I was given a chilli plant in a tub last year which provided copious amounts of chillies well into November. Following advice from the forum, I left it to die back for the winter rather than throw it on the compost. I checked it yesterday and it's producing chillies again, so I'm looking forward to another good year from it. I keep it indoors in the conservatory.
