    I have 2 chilli plants growing on my kitchen window sill. One has produced chillis 2 years running, the other looks the same as it did this time last year, i think its convinced itself its a house plant rather than a chilli one :rolleyes:

    Honestly. The phrase "repressed urges" springs to mind. :rotfl:

    Another thing learnt i did not realize that they kept growing year after year thought they were like tomato's throw away after the season.

  • Most chilli plants are perennials. Keep them somewhere warm and dry over the winter and try not to overwater - and you will have a plant that will last you a good few years.

    The reason people throw them away is either they don't have the space or they can't get rid of the white fly on the plant.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    You'll like those chilli's, they are tasty and hot!

    If you do not have any indoor space to grow them, they can go outside in wales just make sure you put them out when you're expecting a week or so of nice weather, and I'd bring them back in September, unless we have a scorcher :rotfl: of a summer! to let the last fruits finish off inside.

    If you have a greenhouse or conservatory it will love it in there.

    good luck
