Grow your own chillies

Despite their exotic associations, these fiery peppers are remarkably easy to grow.

There's an ever-increasing range of varieties available but they all have similar growing requirements (both to each other and to tomatoes).

The plants need a sunny site and high temperatures to produce the best crops, so are best kept in a greenhouse or conservatory - although they can be moved outside in summer.

What you will need

  • A packet of chilli seed
  • Seed trays or small pots
  • Seed and cutting compost
  • Larger pots and potting compost
