happy new year everyone, got some long  sweet red peppers today from Morrisons (their Best range), I don't normally like peppers but really enjoyed these  does anyone know the name of them and if so do you think they  can  be grown here in a greenhouse.would love to have a go at growing them they were that nice

try saving the seeds from them, we got some in cornwall 2 years ago and managed to grow some last season..if you want some seed, long red marconi are a good one  :)

Pepper seeds save well. (They couldn't be easier, could they?)

I saved F1 Gypsy for years. You can't save F1's - that's what we're all told - but these just got better & better - and earlier & redder - year after year.

Give it a go! What's to lose?

Last Autumn, when preparing one of my Gypsy peppers for the pot, I noticed that the seeds inside the pepper had already started sprouting. I popped the seeds onto damp paper and they continued sprouting. They look so good that I think that I will pot them up for this year.
