    Hi guys, my chilli plants are looking really good and have produced quite a few cayenne and jalapenos. I have a question about harvesting them, once i pick them:

    Do they grow back? If so, are there any tips to encourage it?

    Im looking to pickle my chillies. Will it be ok to pickle cayenne and jalapenos together? Also looking for a decent recipe!

    Thanks.

    Keep snipping the ripe chillies off at the little stalk that attaches them to the plant. Flowers should continue to be produced by the plant. :dbgrtmb:
