Sweet Pepper 'Green Bellboy' Pot Veg 8.5cm
3 FOR £5
Bell Boy' sweet pepper is a reliable and high-yielding variety with a mild, sweet taste. The square-ended fruits have thick, juicy flesh and can be harvested green or left to ripen to a vibrant red colour. This variety is an early cropper and can tolerate cooler temperatures than some other peppers, making it a good choice for gardens in regions with shorter growing seasons.
Peppers are versatile plants that can be grown in various settings, either undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or outdoors in a sheltered spot with full sun exposure. It is recommended to transplant well-grown plants into grow bags, containers or beds with fertile and well-drained soil.
When growing sweet peppers outdoors, it is important to gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days before transplanting to prevent transplant shock. To allow enough space for the plants to grow, peppers should be spaced 50cm apart.
Regular watering is essential for sweet pepper plants, particularly during the growing season. Once the first fruits have set, it is recommended to feed the plants weekly with a high-potash tomato feed to ensure optimal growth and fruit development. With proper care and attention, peppers can provide a bountiful harvest of delicious and nutritious fruits.
