Hi

My name is Miks. I am 14 years old and soon will be 15. I don't speek italian and google translate is prety bad so I'll write in english. I realy want to use this forum because I think that in this forum are the greatest chilliheads in Europe. In Latvia we have some chilli collectors but I am the only one who is growing species chillies. Hope I can write in english in this forum!

Of course, welcome to PF Miks!

I'm very curious to see your cultivation, do you grow your plants in a greenhouse like the Finns do?

 

How is the climate of your area in summer?

In Latvia almost every house owner has a greenhouse. I have 2 polycarbonate greenhouses. You can plant your peppers in a greenhouse most years about in middle of may to first week of june. First frosts are in middle of october but they can come earlyer too. Last season in my willage we didn't have any rain from end of april till middle of august but in 2017 it rained all season and was wery cold.
