Davey, it doesn't seem to matter how early I start mine.They still seem to take the same amount of time to fruit, except for over wintered plants.We have a very short growing season here, can't plant them out before June and can have frosts as early as September.

Are your planted out in greenhouse or pollytunnel,because if not and you are planting in the open you will struggle,unless you get a very hot summer,mine are shifted into the greenhouse and cheap plastic greenhouses for the summer,try and grow one in a pot on a sunny windowsill all year you will see the difference,if you want chillis to plant out choose Capsicum annuum varieties(there are hundreds,Cayenne being one of my favs) they don't need such a long grow and are hardier and super quick to fruit,i have one in flower at the moment.
Maggi,why are you scared of Ian growing chillies? Would he start adding them to everything he cooks?cheersfermi

It's bad enough when he's restricted by what he is able to find in the shop. I don't mind a little chilli, sometimes.... I'd be the first to say a nice chilli jam can be treat with meat or chesse.... but I don't want every meal to be red hot... which is what would happen.
We have a Chilli Farm down herehttp://www.southdevonchillifarm.co.uk/Good tea shop as well but most things taste of chilli, even the cakes!
Maggie that fair made me chuckle,i have found chilli has made it into most of my meals.

Maggi, I have some chilli chocolate in the fridge, sent to me by a friend in Finland. Chocolate is supposed to release endorphins too
