Also planted some chilli pepper seeds, but don't hold out much hope of
them ripening outdoors as I haven't built a greenhouse here yet for such
sunlovers.

We grow chillies every year out on the allotment and have done for some
years. Always get a good crop (especially the hot Thai Dragon). Normally
crop them just before the first frost, collecting red and green ones then,
and freezing what we will need for the coming year.
You do need to get them up and growing asap so I use Seaweed Extract which
seems to give them a good start and an occasional Tomato feed when the
little white flowers are showing.

We gave some to our local Chemist, an Asian family, they complained that
last years were too hot! :-)
