Harvest

Harvest
  • Early harvests of bright yellow peppers
  • Big, sweet, juicy fruits
  • Delicious raw or cooked
  • Perfect for stuffing

Sweet Pepper ‘Afterglow’ is quick to mature, producing plenty of sweet, juicy peppers that turn bright yellow when ripe. These tasty peppers are equally delicious roasted, stuffed or just eaten raw and crunchy in salads!

Sow indoors

February-April: Sow individually 1/2cm (1?4in) in clean module trays of firm pre-watered compost. Cover with a fine layer of vermiculite. Place in constant warmth 18°C (65°F) and keep soil moist at all times. Slowly reduce the heat to 14°C (57°F) and increase ventilation after germination to keep plants from getting leggy. Prick out when large enough to handle individually into 9cm (3 1?2in) pots filled with good quality compost.

Grow on

May: Plant out into individual pots or growing bags at a minimum temperature of 15°C (60°F).

Tips

Water regularly and feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser once fruits start to swell.

How To Grow

Add some heat to your garden with chilli and sweet pepper seeds, perfect for greenhouses, pots, or sunny borders. From fiery hot chillies to crisp, sweet peppers, there’s a variety for every taste. Start seeds early in warm conditions for the best results. As fruits develop, feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser to boost flavour and yields. Homegrown peppers are a delicious addition to any dish!


Indoor Sowing
Sow seeds early in a warm, bright spot. Coco Dots are ideal for strong root growth with the right balance of moisture and aeration. A heated propagator can help maintain warmth. Once seedlings develop two true leaves, pot on into 9cm pots of compost and grow in a bright, sheltered place. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.


Planting Out
Harden plants off over 7–14 days before transplanting outdoors. Plant 1cm deep, spacing 30cm between plants and 30cm between rows. Mulch to retain heat and moisture.


Harvesting
Harvest peppers green for a crisp flavour or leave to ripen to red, yellow, or orange for a sweeter taste. Chillies can be picked at any stage, depending on the heat level you prefer.
