Growing Information
How to Sow
Soak seed for 12 hours prior to sowing. Sow in trays about 5mm deep. Water well and keep moist. If sowing early provide bottom heat to trays as seeds require a consistent temperature of 25 degrees to germinate.
How to Harvest
As soon as your peppers look big enough to eat, you can start to harvest them. If you want red peppers, leave them on the vine until they colour up. Cut them off with a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or a knife to avoid damage to the fruit or the plant.
