Hope someone can help me here.

I have decided I would like to grow my own Chilies (I go through about 10 a week). I don't have a garden, but I assume I could grow them in a pot in my window (I have a friend who says they have done this)

My main queries are
A - Can this be done?
B - Do I need to buy seeds or can I grow from the chilie seeds inside the fresh ones I buy?
C - Is it easy?
D - Any hints and tips to help.

Thanks

I know it is cheating a little but you can buy miniture chilli plants from mant garden centres, they taste very good, in fact they are a little hotter as they asr so compact. and yes they comein lovely little pots. I've an allotment but have never tried growing them, perhaps in the heat of next years summer (please oh please) i'll give them a go !
