Hello readers,
i would like to start growing chili [Mexican/Indian ones], but i'm
told that i need heat. i don't have the room for a greenhouse. Any
thoughts on getting round this problem?
Thanks, Michael.


Growing where? Northern alaska? Phoenix? Indoors?
It makes a difference.

BTW: avoiding overwatering is more important if you want a lots of
capsaicin.


The header says U.K.


sounds too wet for decent chilli peppers. indoors might be the way to go.
Or just select a pepper much hotter than desired (like habeneros) and
understand that the wet weather will make them more mild than usual.
