Advice on growing chilli peppers please
By Readejahn

I've just planted a packet of mixed chilli seeds. if they germinate I'll grow them in pots on my S. facing bedroom window sill. I don't have a greenhouse or conservatory, and its too cold outside up here (N. U.K).
Is there any hope at all of getting useable fruit? Any tips however small gratefully accepted

me too mac.
i potted them into a 2 litre pot and gave them lots of tomato food and water once the flowers started to go over. I did use a paint brush to transfer pollen as i didnt think there would be enough polinators around to do it. in fact the ones from the house were hotter than the ones from the greenhouse.
