hi

[the_mac_monster]

hello there.

I've been looking on your site for a while now, and i thought i'd finally pluck up the courage to say hello. My boyfriend and i have been thinking about growing some peppers and chillies in pots as we live in a flat with no garden. I was wondering if anyone else has any advice, as we're a bit unsure and we only have 2 windows in the flat (east and west facing).

sorry, got a bit over eager :) thanks in advance

Hello The Mac Monster!!

:welcomeish:

As it happens... the person that will be able to give you loads of advice about chilis is another monster.... the Chili Monster!!

I've got mine growing on a windowsill.... they are still in a propogator (without the lid now) - it's a west facing window with not much light but they've still done reasonably well despite a late sowing. You do need to start them early, that much I've learnt.

sorry, got a bit over eager :)

Is there such a thing as over eager?? Nah

Hello and welcome!
I also find my windowledges useful for herbs in pots - and convenient for cooking! Also just sprouting seeds for lovely crunchy salads.

Hi

Here's the ssish guide to all things chilli. Now, I'm aware that there's a problem with some of the external links related with this article, which I plan to fix sometime soon.
