Sowing:

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

Growing:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots.
FOR INDOOR CROPS: Plant out into growbags or 8 inches pots in the greenhouse. Provide a night temperature of 60-75F and around 75F in daytime, for good fruit setting. Ensure compost is evenly moist as flowers form. Give a weak general fertilizer 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 acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out early summer 24 x 36in apart in moist well drained soil in a sunny sheltered site. Grow on as above.
