This is the first year I shall not be growing chillies due to work commitments. One thing is for sure is that growing the hotter varieties does take some considerable time and effort. You should, I hope have begun sowing the seeds by now, they do need a long growing season, plenty of warmth and later on a regular feed such as tomato plant feed. I plant mine on twice during their growing season, they'll need plenty of light, a greenhouse is the best option because the more light and heat they get the closer to their true origin they will be. Watch out for falls in temperature, England is renowned for late frosts so keep them protected. There are plenty of posts on growing all kinds of varieties on here under the kitchen garden section. I wish you luck with them. Kind regards Miles Andrew,

Having only ever grown <em>finger chiles</em> before I'm a little apprehensive about how things are going to turn out.

Could you tell me what fish peppers are like as I've never heared of them before. Good luck with the jolokia's and thanks for visiting and commenting, it's much appreciated. Kind regards Miles Ron,

We could stick them into the ground and in your fertile soil they are bound to root. We can then burn them down (ala Karen) and there is your hot chillie bed - sorted! Elsie Miles,

I've got it, a Jack and the Beanstork theme. Secreted at the back, a wind generator (got to keep it ecological!) with an attachment clothes line and a giant leaf as a sun shade... now before you get all excited I've got to do a trial run with toilet rolls and then get it past the planners. :) Cid Miles,

A giant fibre glass chilli? somewhat bizarre, even for you :) Miles Cid,
