How big do chilli plants get?

I've got 4 plants, which I grew from seed a couple of months ago. They are comfortable in 10cm pots atm, but I think I may have to re-pot again. They are strong enough and plenty of big leaves on them now, but I have no idea how much bigger they're gonna get, before I see some flowers!

Anyone know?

Ours got to a couple of feet max I think. Small enough to stay on the window sills.

Did you know that all the chillis start off green and turn red? I didn't. Enjoy!

I did know that actually, but what I don't know is, do the leaves taste of chilli? Some plants do, don't they. I'm going to pick one off and try it tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice. I think I pot on, one more time. I'm running out of window sil space though! I also have several herbs, that I grew from seed too!
