Default Ever get the feeling you should just give up?

Sweet peppers......not at all sweet. I nurtured and did everything
right that I can see and my peppers taste.....well just awful. In fact
maybe a tiny bit bitter.

My hot chillies are fine but the sweet peppers are small and green and
yuk!

Any ideas please what went wrong? I grew them in the greenhouse in
biggish pots in multi-purpose compost. Grew them from seed starting in
Feb.


Indian gardeners in the UK, swear by sowing the seeds in October and then
overwintering the plants for the following year. We do this for garlic, why not
peppers?
