Better to use a windowsill indoors that an unheated greenhouse, NannyG. The type of seed trays with a clear lid are best. Chilies and peppers need higher night time temperatures than you will get in a cold greenhouse at this time of the year.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I think that when you want to grow something that isnt native to Britain, chillies, peppers, sweetcorn etc, try to think of the counties that they do grow well in, such as Italy, Spain, California, and think what their climate is like, then try to mimic that with your own seeds.

Yes thanks BobTheGardener. That is exactly what I am now doing. Poor shivering things!
