Pepper Seeds
Growing suggestions for pepper seeds
Sow pepper seeds indoors with heat from February, the ideal temperature is 20°C. If sown in a seed tray, prick out seedlings into 10cm pots once they germinate. If grown in plugs, pot them on when they have two sets of true leaves. Transplant into final position in May, either under cover or in a sunny sheltered spot. Plants may need staking as they grow. The main shoot can be pinched out when the plants are 30cm tall to encourage side shoots, but this is not essential.

Crop History
Peppers were domesticated in Central and South America and brought to the rest of the world with the Spanish and Portuguese. Most of the peppers introduced to Europe didn’t come directly from the Americas but from India, Asia and Africa via Turkish trading routes.
There is a very high demand for seed at the moment so we are doing our best to keep up with orders and packeting up more seeds. As such we are only accepting a certain amount of orders per day.
Our online shop will be open from 9am each day and we will close it once we have reached our capacity, we have also had to put limits on the amount of any one variety per order (3) and of total order amount (£50), to try to be as fair as possible to all our customers.
Thanks for your patience - we hope you and your loved ones are fit and healthy during this challenging time.
P.S. we apologise in advance if you happen to be in the middle of placing an order when we shut down the shop, and understand how frustrating this would be, but it will inevitably happen to some
