When and How to Grow

Chillies are a warm-season crop that need a long, warm growing period, so sow once the soil and air have warmed and all risk of cold has passed. Raise seedlings in warm conditions and transplant into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position once they are established. Keep water up consistently, feed through the season, and support plants if needed as they load up with fruit. Pick regularly at the green or red stage to encourage continuous cropping.
