Quite frustrated. I presently live in a house with a conservatory which faces south and gets loads of sun. I can even grow chillies in the middle of a Caithness winter, which is quite something.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to leave this house and move home... The new houses I'm looking at don't have anywhere to grow chillies...

Not sure what I can do about that, but I'm quite annoyed!

Sorry to hear this news.. I can see from your posts and support of the forums you enjoy the chilli time.

I recently tried to get an allotment near me and even though many are frustratingly empty I couldn't get one. Maybe you could look at this for a solution?

Ay Cobra man,
bad news mate,didn't know you were in the highlands,but where is home that you can't grow chillies?

I'm having issues this year, trying to do a new batch of Bonnets, Naga's, Jalapenos and Jolkia's

and none of them have started yet, (accept the Naga's)

Wish the damn sun would come out.

The outdoors growing season is miserably short up here. When I was coming home the other night my car was frozen over properly, and it was -5 deg C outside... An allotment would be wishful thinking!

Indoors in a conservatory is a much better proposition, however, the place I'm looking at doesn't have this.

But hey ho, where there's a will, there's a way.

Sorry to hear that. No substitute for a great growing area (and expensive), but maybe a home-made version of something like this: www.aerogarden.org.uk/shop/aerogarden/
