Title: sweet peppers
Post by: bill22 on March 15, 2006, 18:09:18

Hi

I sowed my seeds on Jan 31st and am intending to put the plants in a heated greenhouse in mid april.

What is the min Day and Night temperatures I should maintain bearing in mind that Tomatoes and melons will be accompaning the peppers ?

Thanx

Lucky old you - with a heated greenhouse!!

Don't know, but ours go out into a COLD 'house mid-May, & the temp can fall enough to burn the plants - if I've forgotten to fleece them. Frequently less than 50F.

But we can't complain about our crop.

Treat them the same as your tomatoes and they should be ok

To keep them growing ..Min night temp  50 .  Daytime min 60-65 but hopefully the daytime temps inside a greenhouse shouldnt need heat to reach this in  mid April unless we still have the weather as it is now ....

To keep them ticking over so they wait for weather outside to warm up, min night temp 40ish   daytime 50ish...  cheers Jim
