Sweet Peppers - 2016 Review

Sweet Peppers 2016



Possibly they didn’t get the same attention as the Chilli Peppers in 2016 but a very good harvest nonetheless J
Like the Chilli Peppers, they probably benefitted from the start they had with the new Growlights.

Grown in 2016 were:

·         Californian Wonder (3) – An old reliable that probably wasn’t as good as previous years for some reason; I was possibly late sowing them..
·         Doux D’Espagne (1) – Not as good as previous years and late to fruit and ripen.
·         King of the North (2) – New for 2016 and a good cropper. Seeds from Real Seeds. Will grow this again.
·         Lipstick (1) – Only an ok crop, but fruited early.
·         Mila’s Bulgarian (4) – Good crop in 2016 but susceptible to greenfly.
·         Semaroh (4) - New for 2016 with seeds got from Real Seeds. An excellent cropper of long “goats horn” style peppers. Striking plants when in fruit. They cropped very well in 2016 in large pots. Will be growing this one again!
·         Sweet Banana (1) – Good crop in larger pot than previous years.
