    Mine has outgrown its allotted space- a four foot wide bay window. But I have had loads of fruit off it already.

      Despite living up here in the Shetland Isles our south facing windows produce plenty of warmth in summer (the best day of the year in Shetland). Every window has 6 - 8 peppers growing.
      This years Bell peppers have, so far, reached 24".
      I planted Purple Tiger seeds last year and they produced fruit. This year they are about 12" and are heavy with fruit. I also have Habernero Red and Numex all in flower.
      What I am really looking forward to is the fruit from my Bolivian Rainbow Chilli. I will be taking cuttings for next year and this years plant is going for THE CHOP!
      This is what I am aiming for:

        Tried 3 Ohnivec chilli plants, its a native chilli but got them from Real Seeds. Planted them late as well Apr/May instead of the recommended Feb but 2/3 have grown well. One is a good 2 ft, the other a bit smaller with about half a dozen chillies so far on the bigger one, smaller just starting to flower.

        Planted a Jalapeno last year from some old seeds we had lying about in a draw for about 5 yrs, it grew but only produced a couple of mediocre peppers, this year its still alive in its pot after overwintering in the bedroom, half a dozen good looking peppers which we'll eat on Sunday as a salsa starter before a chillie without carne.
