I placed some chilli pepper seeds about 3 weeks ago which I bought from a local store in my garden.Then I realized that I read the instuction wrong regarding the right time to plant them.Well I said to myself seeing we're having this Indian summer in Victoria maybe they"ll germinate. Check today 19th April and to my suprise they're sprouting up.Ok all you experts what is my chances of getting chilles in winter time ? I say nil .What do you think.?

Planting out of season will cause your plants to "rush to seed", you will notice very very slow growth and it will flower a lot quicker, thats if it survives some winter frost. Planting out of season sometimes might get you results, if you can but the plants in behind glass or in a greenhouse, or a enviornment that protects from elements, you may get better results. The change of times, i.e switch to day light savings means shorter light in the days, plants react to this also.
