Hi, I want to start growing veg, etc. I have a packet of dwarf pepper gourmet. It contains 10 seeds. Will I need to sow all of them, as it says on the packet that they are heavy croppers. I have a greenhouse and I would like to grow them on in pots, what size pot should I use. I've read up on them but cant find answers.

They're nice sweet orange peppers and you'll have great results from them in a greenhouse. You'll need to sow the seeds now though, don't wait any longer. In theory you'll get a plant from each seeds, so ten plants may be quite a lot. There's good info about sowing that very variety here -
Most seed packets say heavy cropping, depends on if you can give optimum conditions though as they often over sell. Ten is a lot of one variety though, how many do you have room for? I'd be inclined to sow half and use the others next year.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment
