Product Description Sweet pepper topepo rosso f1 seed by Mr. Fothergill's. Unusual thick-fleshed fruits. Productive Italian heirloom variety with unusual, thick, tasty flesh. Excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants and fibre. The firm fruits are excellent roasted either stuffed or on their own. This variety is also traditionally preserved in vinegar. Useful Information: Veg Explorer - varieties from around the world; Vitamin C; Iron; Dietary fibre Sow and grow: For greenhouse crops, sow indoors, February-April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly, 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degree C (60-68 degree F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out May-June, to large pots, growing bags or into warm, well-drained soil in the greenhouse border. For outdoor crops: delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 40 cm (16-inch) apart, when frosts are over. Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered spot. Outdoor crops will be smaller and later than those grown in a greenhouse. Harvest: July-October. Hints and tips: The firm fruits are excellent roasted, either stuffed or on their own. This variety is also traditionally preserved in oil or vinegar. Box Contains 1x 30 Seeds Pack
