My first year of really growing some different chillis apart from a single plant last year.
I enthusiastically planted a few of each in case I had low germination and every single seed has produced a plant.
My house is just not equipped for this many plants and I can't wait for the UK to hurry up and get warmer.

Same, and it is my third year. Lessons from prior years regarding planting were not learned.
If your area has any seed/plant swaps, that may be an opportunity to offload extras you have no room for in the house or garden.
I still have more than 5kgs of mixed pepper podsin the freezer that I don’t know what to do with.
I’m in the same boat. This is my 2nd year growing, after a pretty bad seed starting attempt last year that was mostly a failure because I thought I could make a north facing windowsill work. It didn’t. This year I built a proper grow light setup and had fantastic results; *too* fantastic because now the plants have outgrown my setup and are getting quite large, and there’s still possibility for a killer front for the next few weeks here so I cannot plant them outside yet. It’s a good problem to have, sort of, but it would be a bummer if most of my plants die because they were too successful too fast.
I think next year, my project is going to be a heated greenhouse.
