Sowing Time
February – April
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a small seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds evenly spaced over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 18-25 degrees Celsuis (65-75 Fahrenheit), and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost or singly into small pots. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 15 degrees Celsuis (60 Fahrenheit).
Planting Out
Plant into growing bags or the greenhouse border when the first flowers have opened.
Aftercare
Water regularly and feed with liquid fertiliser as fruits begin to swell.
Harvest
August – September. Pick the best peppers before they are fully grown to encourage further cropping.
