Chillis Galore are Richard (nickname Wilf) & Kathy, who started growing chillis 20 years ago in Norwich, UK, really just to obtain some different varieties to use in cooking. After a few years of successfully growing and harvesting chillis this website was started to share some knowledge. Over the years it has grown in popularity which a huge following worldwide, and led us to developing our own homemade chilli jellies, relishes and sauces from our own kitchen.

There are a good variety of seed companies on our links page if you are looking for something different this year. New fresh seeds should give you a better harvest and the true strain of chilli. Undecided on what to grow have a look at our varieties pages or growing diaries which may help you decide on what to grow. Another source for seeds is Ebay, plenty to pick from on there, although you may take the risk of old seedswith poor germination or cross fertilized seeds unless its a reputable shop.

Our Own Growing Diary
Each year we try to grow an interesting assortment of chillis, which will appeal to all, whether you only have a small space on a kitchen windowsill, or access to a greenhouse or a conservatory. We've grown the smallest ornamentals which are still edible, but ho,t to the larger bushes which can reach up to 2 metres if planted into the ground in a greenhouse. If you wish try Hydroponics (check out our growing tips) or have a look at 2004 or 2007 onwards diary pages, where we tried Greenhouse Sensations GS 100 & 200 kit, and the Wilma 4 pot, everything included to get you started, with great success.
Now in its eleventh year!
