> What are some chiles that would grow well in a windowsill ?

I've done well on the windowsill with Super Chiles, which are
of about cayenne heat and have a very nice serrano-ish flavor; they're
prolific as hell, quite attractive and of manageable plant size.

I also have a  three-year-old, 1ftx1ft _siling labuyo_ plant (a Filipino 
wild-type native, fruits about 3/4" to 1" by 3/16", bright red) doing
great in a six-inch pot on my east-facing bedroom windowsill; it bears
several times a year.  Pretty little sucker, too, and the peppers are
quite hot and have a lot of flavor.   Not bad for something I started as
an experiment, from seeds from the bottom of a jar of  pickled peppers,
when the cats trashed a bunch of
my seedlings from "bought" seeds and I didn't want to buy more.
(My junior cat is a chilehead.)  

_Siling labuyo_ plants are said to get quite a lot bigger outdoors, and
I'm going to put some out this year.  

Keep on rockin',
