Sowing & growing
Sow indoors Feb-Apr, sow on the surface of seed compost and cover with a very fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or on a sunny windowsill at 18-21°C. Seedlings can be transplanted when they have 2 true leaves, handle by the true leaves and not the stem. Grow on at minimum temperature of 15°C.
Aftercare
Feed weekly after first fruit truss has set and water regularly to avoid blossom end rot or fruits splitting. Remove side shoots when they appear. Main stem will require support from cane/twine. Tie in with soft garden twine
