Windowsill chilli peppers

I thought I'd quickly make a post about chilli peppers to grow on your windowsill at home as a reader, Jon, left a comment on the post below about looking for some chillis to grow on his windowsill.

While I was searching for some small chilli types I found a company called Sea Spring Seeds that sell some small chilli peppers called "the habanero collection" which contain the chillis Turtle Claw, Coffee Bean and Pumpkin.

When I emailed Joy at Sea Spring Seeds she said that they grow theirs in small 5inch pots and could grow to 1 foot which would make them great windowsill chilli peppers. She also says that the Habanero collection make great looking edible house plants.

So thanks Joy for your email and if anyone is interested in small chilli plants this year be sure to visit www.seaspringseeds.co.uk - the three pack is priced at £7

Fire Garden selected chilli pepper seeds for 2010

Well I have decided to buy some new chilli seeds for 2010 and this time I am going for the smaller chilli varieties which are the NuMex Twilight, Apache, Prairie Fire and the not so small Bhut Jolokia just because it is one of those hot chillies that any chilli head has to grow at least once.

If you're looking for some high quality seeds and growing equipment for this season then be sure to check out my links to my fave seed companies on the top right of this page.

I will be posting about growing the Bhut Jolokia/Naga chilli separately as it is one of those special chilli peppers that a lot of people talk about so it would be nice for those wanting some information on growing the Bhut Jolokia/Naga to be able to read a totally separate grow diary for it.

In search for compact windowsill chilli peppers?

Well this time last year I had already sowed my first chilli pepper seeds (see: sowing chilli seeds) and this year I am going for some smaller compact types that would fit on my windowsill quite nicely but I cannot decide which dwarf chilli plants to grow! I was thinking Apache, Prairie Fire and Razzamatazz but don't want anything too bushy, any fellow chilli growers like to suggest some chilli seeds for me?

Back on line

Well looks like I forgot to renew my domain but it's all back now and
I will start my new chilli growing ventures in Jan so stay tuned!
