Getting the basics right
Welcome to Chilli Workshop! We’re passionate about chillies and want to help you grow them in the UK. Even though the UK doesn’t have the best climate for growing chillies, you can still grow lots of chillies here if you know how. Growing your own chillies also helps the environment because it reduces the need to transport them from far away.
Before you start growing chillies, it’s important to understand how the UK’s weather affects plants. Chillies like warm and sunny weather, but with some adjustments, they can grow well in the UK without too much trouble. You just need to pick the right types of chillies, protect them from the weather and give them tender loving acre .
In the UK, the time for growing chillies is short. So, it’s best to start growing them indoors in January or February. This way, they have enough time to grow strong before they’re ready to go outside. Once the weather is warmer ( at least above 10 degrees Celsius) , they need to be hardened off and then you can move them outdoors.
This method helps them grow better and gives you more chillies. During the winter months they stand no chance of surviving. However, when they’re outside, they get natural sunlight and develop as if they have been outside all along . It’s like giving them a boost! With this approach, you can grow lots of tasty chillies right in your backyard. Join us at Chilli Workshop to learn more and start growing your own spicy Chilli peppers!
