    Hello

    I am new here so please be patient with me.

    I am looking at growing some chillies. I am looking to grow them in a wall trough, the reason for this is I currently grow tomatoes and strawberries in pots which work fine, I have a daughter who is nearly 2 and she trys to pick the tomatoes and strawberries I am worrying that she may try picking the chillies if I was to put them in pots.

    Does anyone know if this will work.

    Thanks

    David

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Yes they will grow in troughs or other containers just the same as your toms & strawberries. The troughs need to be deep enough for the chillies to put down roots. Too shallow and you'll spend all your time watering.
