Chilli Plant Help Please... Newbie here

Hi guys,

I am very new to gardening and wanted to start growing some chillies this year.

I have already sown (about 10 days ago). When could i put them outside? I have a greenhouse but it is not heated. I live in London so its a bit milder here than other parts of the country.

If anyone could give me some advice, that would be great.

Thanks!

They'll need to be kept indoors in good light until outside temperatures are consistently not dropping below about 10C, particularly at night. That will probably be in early June in London, according to historical temperature charts:

Phew! It is far too early to sow chillies. They need at least 25 deg C to germinate and then hot, wet and sunny. No good outdoors.
