Title: Numex Big Jim
Post by: Rhubarb Thrasher on June 25, 2009, 14:30:04

We're growing this this year, has anyone else grown it - the big chili? And can I grow it outdoors? Our greenhouse is pretty useless in the summer, shaded by a tree next door

Chilis have done well for us outside, but bell peppers were a waste of space, and have therefore been given up upon  :D

Grew it last year in my little lottie greenhouse..........didn't get a huge crop, but then the weather was pants...... :-\ I have tried a few of the bigger chilli plants outside in pots, they did ok in a sheltered spot.
