Capsicum and Chilli

Capsicum and chilli are very cold-sensitive. Sow in greenhouse beginning of September, then plant out after 8 to 9 weeks and after temperature is not expected to be under 10°C . Requires 15°C for germination. Better results can be expected if plants are kept in large pots in greenhouse. Harvest late February to May, longer periods when grown in greenhouse.
