Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking on this list since last December. I've given up the
hunt of trying to find a place in the UK that sells Habaneros (well,
Oxfordshire anyway:) so I've decided to grow some of my own. I am a
gardening novice and I would be grateful if anyone can help out on the
following points:

1. Does anyone know a place that sells habaneros in the Oxfordshire
region? :) The hottest I have found is Bird Eye Chiles in the local
supermarket but I find these a little small and they don't have much
flesh to them.

2. I'm looking to find a very small greenhouse, about a meter high and a
meter long to grow them in, any recomendations? If I cannot find
something like this I'll grow them inside, however I have a north facing
room so I'll need a (cheap) light source, again, any recomendations?

3. There is a few places listed on the Chile-Heads UK site which sells
seeds, can anyone recomemend anywhere?

4. The soil here is very sandy, is that alright to grow chiles in? If so
what soil should I get and what fetiliser should I use?

Sorry if this seems like I'm asking to be spoonfed the info, if anyone
has any links to an indoor/outside growing guide it will be
appreiciated.

Regards,
Tim
