chillies!

Hi all,

Is it possible to sow chilli's indoors now, as the seed packet says to sow earlier in the year? Also what sort of pot would i need to put each individual plant into once germinated.

Thanks

Steve

 

I find them very hard to keep alive during the Winter, but folk do do it.

Better to sow early-ish in the New Year I reckon. I doubt you will get ripe chillies any/,much earlier if you sow now, compared to, say, February, but a Chilli-expert will give you a better answer I'm sure.

 

Even though i am going to keep them indoors? My intention is to grow it on the dining room table where we get alot of light in.

 

I bring mine indoors for the winter. Mostly they die. That's not quite the same as sowing seed now, but personally I wouldn't risk it unless it was going to make them fruit earlier next year (which I'm sceptical about). If you've got plenty of seed no harm sowing half-now and seeing how you get on.

Dinning room table doesn't sound like enough light to me, unless its under the window (rather than in the middle of the room)

 

Thanks for the replies Shiny/Kristen. I will wait until next year before sowing them.
