I'm going to guess tomatoes......I bring the toms onto the windowsil to finish off if they are slow ripening but not if they are completly green

Right, never thunked of them. We often have lots of green toms at the end of the season. They go in a drawer in the kitchen and ripen up slowly. Even been known to last until mid November.

Well the question asks about chillies, but never having grown them, I,m afraid I don,t know the answer, Derek.

I have a trick for ripening tomatoes on the vine - hang banana skins around them. Mine that had stayed green for weeks began to ripen in just a few days when I tried this. It might work for chillies too.
It works in the same way as leaving a ripe tomato with the green ones - the ripe fruit or banana skin gives off a gas that hastens ripening.

Oh Chilli's .........they need heat to ripen properly and would do better ripening on the plant. In Britain they do better under glass (even then this year its iffy)
