its now almost June is it too late to sow chilli seeds?

[darkdude]

Is it too late to sow chilli seeds now? im not bothered about getting fruit off them this year as i have three that have more than enough that il be preserving some, would the plants survive the winter if i sowed them now? i am keeping them in a heated conservatory, and also indoors (the house proper) on very cold nights.


thanks.

cheers i overwintered my chillis last year, 3 from 6 survived. thought they was dead as they a lost all their leaves but came back and fruioting like mad. i also have 27 new chillis growing at the moment seedlings. planted 35 seeds bnack in march, 27 have germinated. th no chocolate bhuta at all. weirdly. im giving up on them as a lost cause. (the white Bhuta all germinated)

i just didnt know what would happen if i planted another set of seeds say tomorrow
