Tesco bell peppe

I seem to recall the question was asked..
Can supermarket pepper seeds be germinated after drying?
Or, words to that effect.
So, a couple weeks ago after deseeding a pepper for some salad I planted the seeds direct.
A couple weeks in the propergator and I have these plants that are almost ready to plant on.

Nah, they are going to be a bunch of misshapen, space wasting, miss-fits.

Whereas my F1 seed, that I spent a fortune on, will be perfect.

Otherwise I will be VERY UPSET

:wink:

 

The edible kind:thmb:

 

:D:D:D Aesculus.. And if id read the title of the thread Duh, i would of known what Pepper it was

 

LOL Tesco own brand cultivar I can see the white and blue stripped peppers now =]

 

How do you get the red and yellow peppers? I got the seeds last year that were supposed to be red but all i got was green and they were not very nice, really thin and short. Is it just the temperature they were grown at, when i left them longer they just rotted, no change after keeping them in the window either.

 

I think they are different stages of ripeness? green-->yellow-->orange-->red...

at least that's something I think I somehow know :P

***EDIT***

"I think they are different stages of ripeness? green-->yellow-->orange-->red..."

All are green first, then depending on variety they either turn Red (normal) or some other colour (Yuppie!!)

 

I only intend to put a couple in a pot and grow on in the consevatory just to see what happens.
Could look good next to the cucumber and the chillies.
Watch this space for updates on mutated peppers K !

 

I expect we will all be growing your Capney Capsicums next year

 

looking good capney, lets hope you get peppers on them, keep my fingers crossed mind they should do well in your greenhouse

 

Well done!
I have grown on some chives from Waitrose and some parsley from Sainsburys.
