The message
from (sw) contains these words:

Someone else will have to advise on when and how to start growing them
indoors: I recall some people growing chillis on windowsills indoors; I
can't, as our cats would devour the plants. The dwarf bell peppers and
the habanero are less than 12" high and wide, but the hungarian wax is
closer to 18", and the F1 hybrid long red peppers I've grown from seed
(worked out c. 25p each, those seeds!) are approaching 2' in height
although they're not wide.

Hmmm. Try growing Scotch Bonnet, they won't chew those! (Twice.) Only,
if you do, you should wear goggles and rubber/plastic gloves when
preparing them. No, I'm not joking.

Well, I have grown them, and they were pretty anaemic. There isn't
enough sun in this country to get them decently hot - and I am NOT
excluding the past couple of weeks!

But, as I have said before, I am a genuine colonial (native), born
in the dying days of Empire (over which the sun never sets). May
I recommend reading Kipling's "Song of the Native Born"?
