to late to have sown my chillies?

[RenishawPhil]

Due to being on holiday we only managed to sow our chillies last week. 

They are now in a heated greenhouse. I am not to late am I?  And how long should I expect for them to germinate?

Germination depends on the variety, but usually 7 to 21 days.
If we have a long summer, you might be ok.

If they haven't fruited by the time we get cold weather, bring a few indoors in the warm and they will carry on.

I will be growing them in the greenhouse anyway though out thier life.

Notts-Phil, I think when DTW says bring them indoors he means into the home not the greenhouse. For future reference i always sow my chillies and peppers in january as they need such a long growing season. Hope this helps. IC

I over wintered some of my chilli plant in house from last year and they are starting show some flowerbud now! So even if yours don't manage to ripen the fruit this year..save the plants and have early crops next year.. ;)
