Sowing Instructions

Germinate seeds at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermicuilite, just covering the seeds. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-14 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. FOR INDOOR CROPS: Plant out into growbags or 20cm (8in) pots in the greenhouse. Provide a night ternperature of 16-24C (60-75F) and around 24C (75F) in daytime, for good fruit setting. Ensure compost is evenly moist as flowers form. Give a weak general fertiliser as blossoms open and water well. Pick fruits as soon as ripe to ensure continued cropping. Note that most varieties are green until ripe. FOR OUTDOOR CROPS: After transplanting, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out early summer 60x90cm (24x36in) apart in moist well drained soil in a sunnv sheltered site. Grow on as above.
