    Chilli question #25187

    Another chilli question

    I've got a lot of different chillies (listed below) and peppers growing, my problem is where to grow them.

    I've got a plastic greenhouse which has 3 growbags in it. 3 spaces are for tomatoes 1 or 2 for cucumber, which leaves 4 or 5 for chillies and peppers.
    This means I'll have to try to grow some in tubs outside the greenhouse in tubs. I plan to use 12" tubs, but my question is regarding the different types of chilli, are any more suitable for growing outside the greenhouse, are any definitely not suitable for the British weather?

    As always, any advise greatly appreciated

    Chilli & pepper varieties are:-

    Chillies

    Big Jim
    Habenero
    Jalepeno
    Ancho Grande
    Scotch Bonnet Orange
    Passilla Bajio
    Hungarian Yellow Wax
    Thai Hot
    Numex Bailey
    Joe's Long
    Hungarian Carrot
    Big Sun

    Peppers

    Calif. Wonder
    Sweet Banana
    Branchio
    Worldbeater
    Denver F1
    Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over
    here, looking through your stuff.

      If your growing out doors you will need to provide good shelter from the elements and protection from bugs, most chilli's will grow outside just as long as it isn't too cold for them, even though they are quite tough plants the cold will certainly hinder the growth and the amount of fruit you get from it.

      The chilli's that are fairly quick growing maybe better suited to outdoors if the weather isn't too cold but the ones that take longer to fruit might not get much of a chance if it is outside and cold.

      The ones I would put out if I had to are:

      Jalapeno
      Hungarian Yellow Wax
      Long Joe
      Hungarian Carrot

      These are fairly quick to fruit, the rest will take between 80-120 days. But again, it's all down to the elements, if it's nice and warm then great.

      Not sure on the peppers.

        Thanks very much herby, lets hope for a nice summer then I may grow some inside well, if the OH doesn't mind the dining room being full of plants

        Sorry for messing the filing system up Zazen, maybe we should start from #1 again
