~ REALLY EARLY SWEET PEPPER Seeds ~
The very earliest ones tend to have slightly smaller fruit, while the others come a little later but crop more heavily. How to choose? Well, you can't really go wrong. All are 'early' and good - the main differences are that some make a few peppers very early, while the others make lots but later. We always grow a mix, so we get a few right at the start of the season and then the heavier bearing ones for our maincrop. All our peppers do really well in an unheated polytunnel , even in Wales! Please order your seeds in time. You really need to plant them by the middle of March
TIP: An electric propagator is ideal for starting pepper seed,but if you don't have one, you can still get excellent results by improvising with a warm airing cupboard, a radiator shelf or anywhere that is around 28-38C for at least a few hours in each day. Once germinated, the seedlings will grow on at lower temperatures. We grew some excellent plants this spring when our propagator was full by starting seed on the counter next to our Rayburn & then growing on in a sunny windowsill.
The incredible colour comes from a purple skin overlaying a sweet brick-red flesh. It looks amazing sliced in salads, but also cooks well, coming out very sweet. Famous for its earliness and sweetness even in cool climates (I think the chocolate-coloured skin helps it absorb whatever sunlight there is available) this performs really well for us. The only early brown bell pepper Order SPSC - 20 seed [OG1] £1.74
'Kaibi Round' This is our latest new release, and we think it is the best-flavoured, meatiest pepper that we've got. It is from the Antonov family farm in central Bulgaria where it has been grown for generations. The original seed was given to us by Mitko Antonov - from his seed we selected several lines, and from those we have bred this new variety. It's great - the plants are very quickly covered in medium-sized juicy red bells, with very thick crisp flesh, and a particularly satisfying flavour. They are also excellent used green earlier in the season. Order SPKR - 20 seed [OG1] £1.95
It has really good thick, crunchy sweet flesh, & we like it best raw rather than cooked. It was brought to us by a Bulgarian student. Last year it did very well in our trials, coming ready in the very first group of peppers, and we're pleased to have quite a few packets available for you to try. Order SPNA - 25 seed [OG1] £1.55 |
