Hello friends

Growing pepper plants is as simple as transplanting some seedlings once the soil warms and the threat of frost has passed. For the keen gardener, cultivating pepper seeds in a cold frame towards the end of winter will give you a head start and they can be planted out as the seedlings mature provided they're covered with a garden cloche.
As they grow, pepper plants will require staking to support their fragile frame - fragile due to the weight of the fruit as they mature. The definition of mature peppers depends upon when you decide to pick them. Green peppers are merely an unripened pepper while red peppers have been allowed to ripen for longer allowing the pigments to enhance.
Provided you water your pepper plants regularly, usually every day during the hotter months - and certainly once the fruit has set - they should produce well. Fertilizing them with a liquid fertilizer and soluble feed such as blood and bone will help them immensely and should be applied every 2-4 weeks.You can also retain the seeds from one, or two, of your more mature fruit to ensure that growing pepper plants in your garden will continue again the following year
