    Our chilli plant(on bedroom windowsill) has produced loads of chillis, and we have left them to dry on the plant for the last month. Yesterday I noticed that it has more flowers on it. Is this normal? Are we really going to get a second crop? This is the first time we have had a chilli plant.

    Yes. The plants are perennial in their native country. The UK is too cold so expect problems.

    Also I picked a lot of my chillis green and the plants continued to flower and produce more chillis.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p
