The message
from (Mike Lyle) contains these words:

Ones that have fruited should certainly do so again the following
year; and, as Rusty says, you can cut them right down to a node and
they'll shoot up happily, especially if you repot them into fresh
mixture. But I haven't had such good crops the second year as the
first, so if you want a lot it's best to sow fresh every year
(February for me).


My jalapinos have cropped better in the second year, strangely, and I am
going to have to dry a lot of them. Just about to have my head blown off
with a sort-of baked-bean hot-pot molished by cooking runner beans (not
green) with garlic, tomato purée, onions, some herbs and a chilli,
chicken stock, chicken fat, paprika, nutmeg and barley flour, to
accompany a brace of my home-mantled spicy lamb sausages - also
containing a fair proportion of jalapino.
