Im no Chilli specialist but the chillies ive grown from seed and potted on in doors are taken to the plot and left in them,I use 8 ins x 8 ins pots approx and either put them in the polly or greenhouse and take them out on sunny days and put them back in the evening,I don't seem to gain any extra fruits
by planting them in the dirt so have quite happily left them as pot plants.

I recall we used to put scented soaps and bags of pot pourri hanging on our growing frame indoors and I can only think the aromas used to keep them away as Bee Gizmo and Alfie didn't eat any of the seedlings in pots that I can remember,,,,,,not sure that its any good for them anyway.

Good luck with your growing.

Hi Aireeonree, Welcome to A4A and congratulations on getting your allotment  :icon_cheers:

What variety of chillies are you growing and what sort of size are they at the moment, some are more suited to being grown in a pot than others. Sorry no idea why your cats have developed a  taste for your chilli plants, you could try distracting them with a pot of cat grass?

aireeonree:
thanks. will have to check varieties (as was a gift box xmas present) and think 1 of them is a 'chocolate' chilli
no idea why the cats like them and not the other plants in the house either!

Uncle_Filthster:
I dunno about cats but dogs certainly like a chilli.  A mate of mine had to give up growing them as his dog was so partial to a chilli that he used to eat them off the plant so my mate never got any fruit to use himself!  :toothy10: :tongue3:

My dog leaves them alone (does what she's told) but she does love a bit of curry no matter how hot it is.
