Is it possible to grow small peppers or chillies in pots on a patio at all?

Yes chillies prefer being in smaller pots 

Go for a pot of about 10 litres and they will love it 

Feed with a basic tomato feed and don’t over water they don’t like wet feet

In the uk I’d say full sun but with the heat your getting maybe some shade 

I’m afraid your going to have to judge it uourse
