I’ve been growing chilli plants in my greenhouse for 20 years and professionally for over 15 years. I have never had any formal horticultural training but instead learnt the hard way how best to grow chillies, what pitfalls to avoid and what to do when things go really wrong.

Over the years, I have encountered most of the problems that crop up growing chillies and picked up a few positive tips as well. I have tried to communicate as much of this as possible so you can learn through positive, instead of bitter experience.
