Hi
New to the scene so be gentle with me!!

I have recently taken up a bit of gardening and have found that i realy
quite enjoy it to my surprise,I have always been a lover of peppers and
was wondering how to grow my own,I live in the North East of Scotland
and have no Greenhouse etc,also quite like the idea of growing my own
chili plants but aint got a clue where to start !!!Can you buy plants
that are started or do you grow them from seed (told you i was new, but
willing to learn) so any information would be a great help.

Thanks

Lenny


Lenny, Scotland and peppers don't mix. If you take commonly grown crops
from the temperate region, peppers are amongst the most heat loving.
But there are dozens of full flavored crops that your cool, long day
climate will support and which will give you bigger crops than I may
get. Favas, various types of onions, shallots, and garlic, many herbs,
Hubbard squash, peas, various greens, carrots, parsnips, beets, cress
or watercress, potatoes, all brassicas. You can have a great garden
even without sweet potato, watermelon, okra, eggplant or peppers. Also,
as a former hater of a number of vegetables, let me tell that you will
love your own vegetables no matter what.
