Hi
Could anybody please tell me how long sweet peppers take to germinate?
I have sown the seeds about two weeks ago and had nothing. Also would
it be worth trying some more.
Thank You
Cabbage Patch


I see that you are in the UK - a friend who lives there tells me that the UK
has had a really cold Spring. Even here in Australia I don't plant any of
the pepper family until late Spring (inside in pots) or Summer (outside in
warm soil) and even then I'm not disappointed if I don't get a harvest
because I know they are heat lovers and my season can be a bit short givne
that I live in a tableland cold climate.


Usually, we have rain in June every 10 years. We've had raine in June
each of the last 3 years. We've just had a day and a half of good rain,
and on Friday, it's supposed to be 92F (33C). Grapes were just finishing
there flowering. Good weather for mold.
