Sweet peppers - Plant out now?
 
Hi all,

I'm having varying results with lots of veggies i've started growing inside
this year, and my first attempt with many including sweet peppers. They've
grown very well, and i've already repotted them once, now they seem to be
yellowing a bit and i suspect they need bigger pots again.

I didnt notice the packet say greenhouse :(

Will i get away with planting them outside now? Or will they die off?

I'm down in herts, and they will be planted in a full sun spot....

Thanks!
dan

Could be growing a bit soft - overwatering/overfeeding? Too hot? Not enough ventilation? Check those yellow growing tips
for aphids. I'd wait a couple of weeks before planting outside.

They need mote heat than you'll get outside, though you could try big
polythene cloches.

I too plan to grow a few sweet pepers and Aubergines this year.

Some will go in the greenhouse, but the excess is going in the
Allotment, under Polythene tunnels.

If no greenhouse, you can get away with them in *big* pots inside, as long
as your windowsills are wide enough. Have not tried outside, but suspect
it will be a bit too chilly.

cloches and / or one of those small plastic greenhouses!! About my only
option i think!!

appresiated too!!thanks again!
