Last Christmas (resists the urge to break into song) my wife bought
me a chili plant growing kit with Jalapenos and a couple of other
varieties. I like chili peppers!

Anyway, I've germinated them in the airing cupboard, got lots of
seedlings. Transferred them to larger pots with compost in, and stood
them on a sunny window ledge (sun! Hah) for a bit.

They seem to be fairly spindly and quite long, they are not growing
upwards as I might expect as they're not strong enough to hold
themselves up.

I do have a kind of greenhouse thing in the garden, it is a two
storey metal frame affair covered with plastic. The temperature in
there is sometimes 30C when the sun is on it (measured over the last
week and half) and sometimes only half a degree above ambient.

My father thinks I should put them in there to "harden them up". My
wife (who is a good gardener but never grows from seed) said that I
should do that because my dad said so (I don't think she's being
fair).

What's the best way to proceed from here? The seedlings are about
5-6" long if stood up but very thin.

Help appreciated by someone new to seed!

If you manage to grow virgins from seed, can I place an order please
