Hi @Margaret569 and welcome to the forum 😊 
Chillies need quite a long growing period before they’re ready to fruit. When did you sow them?

Margaret569

sowed them 9th April,and have repotted them a couple of times.  they are about 10 inches tall but just have leaves

I usually sow mine in February … I think that’s when most folk sow them … so yours are a bit behind …  hopefully they’ll start producing soon. 🤞

Thank you, fingers crossed

For what it's worth, due to  my "usual" chilli seeds being chucked out in a fit of intensive tidying in late February ( doesn't happen often), I sowed random supermarket "red chillies" seeds in early March. I'm guessing they are serrano or jalapeno or some similar shape. Anyhow , due to shortage of space , I basically have 3 plants in a 6/7 litre pot, they started flowering a couple of weeks ago ( albeit tiny buds had been present for a while before that) , and are now forming small chillies. Unless your plants are in a heated greenhouse though, if they haven't shown signs of flowering yet , then they will need to be indoors to make it to the fruiting stage in the UK, but I expect you are already aware of that.
