The chilemans growing dairy for 2006

After a long, dark, cold and depressing winter, my favourite time of the year is finally here again the chile growing season!! This season, I've decided to keep a diary in the hope of inspiring others to grow these fantastic plants and also provide some high level guidance to new and inexperienced growers. More detailed information on growing chile peppers can be found in the guides section.

I grow most of my plants in containers and plant pots in the chilehouse. When the weather gets a bit warmer, I'll also be planting some in the vegetable garden, in window boxes and anywhere else my fiancé lets me get away with.

Chiles are from the same family as the potato, tomato and eggplant and most varieties are an absolute doddle to grow (even in freezing North East of England!).

You don't need a greenhouse or even a garden to grow chiles. All your plants require is a warm spot, well drained soil, the occasional light sprinkling of fertiliser and a little loving care. Here are some of the chile plants I grew last year:
