Default Chillies?

Growing these for the first time, I have flowers on bushes about 3' high

any thoughts?


Having read this, I decided to save some seeds (I buy chillies each week
for chili con carne), and try to germinate them on wet kitchen roll.
I'm amazed how quickly they've germinated. I now need to decide what to
do with them. I'm not expecting any fruit this year (I suppose it's a
strange time to try this, but it was just an experiment), but do I now
need to keep them indoors over Winter? Or does it depend upon how cold
it gets? Or are they annual?
