Planting Timelines
- - For best results, sow pepper seeds indoors from late Winter onwards, so the plants have a long summer of growth
- Prepare cell trays or pots with multi-purpose compost
- Sow seeds individually, approx 2 per cell or small pot
- Cover seeds with a thin layer of compost and water
- Seeds may take approx. 2 weeks before germination
- Once seedlings are a few inches tall, they may be transplanted to larger pots
- Pepper plants need the long warm days of the summer in order to fruit
- Plants can be brought outside once warmer weather arrives or kept in a greenhouse / cold frame
