I have successfully grown chilli peppers this year but I face a dilemma, many are still green and I wanted to pick them before the frost, does anyone know how I can get them ripe quickly, I do not have a green house, they are in pots in the garden.

Any help appreciated

Putting ripe bananas (or even just banana skins) near to tomato plants (even hanging them from the plants themselves) helps tomatoes to ripen, It might work for peppers as well.

Pick them and keep in a dry place, not in the fridge. As long as they are full, they'll ripe on their own. I've done this before.
Would it be possible to move the pots indoors ?, just a thought.

What is wrong with having green chillies?
I have put mine inside the patio window.s. There is still enought warmth in the sun to ripen them.
All green peppers have a more intense flavour than ripe peppers.
