Where to plant my peppers?

The whole reason for the selfsufficientish website was to offer a place where anyone can ask, HOW DO I...? So who knows why it has taken us so long to have a HOW DO I? section, but here it is. So if you want to know how to do anything selfsufficientish then here is the place to ask.

Where to plant my peppers?

Post: # 230459Post Whatalottie »

I have a small greenhouse, and a new, large polytunnel. The polytunnel is not transparent, it has a green weave so it's pretty shaded.

Should I plant my peppers with the tomatoes in the polytunnel, or should I put them in the greenhouse?

Thanks, Lottie

They do fine in large pots - but if you're growing a variety that's prone to botrytis go for the greenhouse, because of the lower humidity.

Hi there Lottie, welcome to the forum. :wave:

I would recommend you plant your peppers in the greenhouse too, as peppers need higher temperatures and sunshine to grow well.
They are slow growers at the best of times, so pampering them a bit is not a bad idea.
