I grew chilis three years ago in small (like 1 liter) pots on an east-facing windowsill and they grew like 25cm high and produced a few berries.
I put a few of them outside guerilla-gardening style in the full sun, and the same seedlings became 1m³ bushes that produced over a hundred fruit each, without any baby-sitting (apart from watering).Read up on chilis quite a bit as I grow a few special ones this year, consensus seems that most of them like at least 5 liter pots to grow proper plants.
Also use a rather fluffy soil mix (the kind that says "tomato" is fine).

Cool. Chillis just need an appropriate sized pot for plant and a bit of support right?
Growing salad leaves, onions, and peppers would be priority I suppose as that's what we get through most of. Tray for rocket?
What needs deep soil and what will be happy in bags?
Some berries would be nice too. Long term I might get some balcony rail planters as well but they seem spendy.
Am in e17 if anyone has any excess of plants they want rid of.
