Growing Guide
Season: Mild to warm, frost-free conditions; avoid intense heat stress.
Sowing: Raise seedlings in a nursery, harden gradually and transplant into a sunny, fertile, well-drained bed.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Provide steady moisture, gentle support and airflow. Avoid excessive nitrogen that encourages leaves at the expense of fruit.
Pick firm, full-size peppers green or allow colour to develop where the variety supports it.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
