The hottest varieties need the longest growing period. If you didn’t give yourself enough time to grow from seed this year, don’t worry, here’s how to grow your own chillies from seed:

​

• Start your seeds off indoors - they need plenty of warmth to germinate.

• Fill a seed tray or some 10cm pots with moist seed compost and flatten down.

• Sow a few seeds on top and cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. 

• Place in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25C (64-77F). If you don't have a propagator, use polythene to cover your seed trays and pop them on a sunny windowsill or in a warm airing cupboard. 

• Germination usually takes 7-10 days, after which you can move your seedlings to a warm, sunny windowsill (or heated greenhouse).

• Keep the compost evenly moist but take care not to let it get soaking wet.
