- Hello again folks,
We're coming to the end of December 2023. We still have time to sow our chilli pepper seeds!
My deadline to sowing chillies here in London is January ish. Slow growers they are!
I like to grow mine early as I don't have a greenhouse. They'll be out in the elements in spring, so want to make sure they are super established to handle UK London weather.
In this video you see me sowing several varieties on the 13th & 22nd December.
Varieties I am sowing:
Kashmir - Mild
Havana Gold - Mild
Shishito - Mild
Fat Chillies - Mild
Long Red - Mild
Long Cayenne - Hot
Surprise Chilli from fellow gardener
Jalapeño - Hot
As seedlings appear, they will remain in the container for two months or so and i'll keep an eye on growth. They'll be placed in the conservatory with normal daylight conditions.
I do not see overgrowing will not be an issue during early stages, however important to make sure the soil remains moist. I'll post an update in few weeks.

Great sowing, how are the chillies getting along?
Dude, if we ever have to live an apocalypse, I want you in my crew 😅

Wow! You’re starting earlier than I would’ve thought. Trying to get a jump on your short growing season?
I didn’t notice any drainage holes in your container…just the newspaper on the bottom. (Then again, you wouldn’t have left your containers on your wardrobe without a tray underneath if you had holes…)
Some folks recommend tightly covering the seed bed, or sowing directly onto a damp paper towel to retain moisture until germination. Your semi- permeable paper cover method is interesting. Will be interested to see how your seeds do.
Yeah just a little jump start! These fruit containers have around 6 drainage holes. I leave the containers in the shed for an hr or so before taking them indoors. I usually put cardboard or paper until germination.
After germination, I take the containers near the window and put tray underneath. I'll keep you posted!
It’s sown way too early. Mid jan in uk for super hots, all other chillies in Feb
Just a tad early yup. I tried Feb couple times previously for mild but never gave decent harvest at all my London allotment and the garden. I'll sow a few hotties in couple weeks time.
This is the worst video I’ve seen lol. It’s a proper authentic home video. Recycling the Thomas the tank engine mat 😂. Besides all that the chillies in a foil with the seeds still in them 😂😂😂. A for effort
Haha crack me up 🤣 I normally use paper envelope but my mum gave me in foil
