CROPPING: June to October

SOWING TIME: Indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost

SOWING DEPTH: ½ inch deep

SOWING: Peppers are best grown under glass or protection but can be grown in sunny positions sheltered from the wind. Prepare the soil by digging trenches and apply generous quantities of well-rotted manure or compost at the bottom, then cover with soil. Sow in late January to April under protection and maintain a minimum temperature of 59F. Sow seeds ½ inch deep, into pots of good compost, transplant to individual 3 inch pots when large enough to handle, then transplant to growing bags, containers or direct into the glasshouse soil.
