How to grow sweet peppers
Sowing - early, in February-March, because peppers grow slowly. The seeds germinate at 25-28°C, so a heating mat is helpful.
Growing - preferably in a polytunnel, greenhouse or warm, sheltered location. They also grow well in large pots on a balcony.
Fertilizing - from flowering, use a fertilizer with a higher potassium content, which supports fruit set.
You can find hot varieties in the hot pepper seeds category, and pepper fertilizers in the fertilizers category.
