Red pepperPeppers
You can grow several different types of pepper in the greenhouse, including chilli peppers and sweet peppers.

Peppers need a minimum temperature of 12掳C (54掳F) to grow properly. So while they can be grown outside, you鈥檙e more likely to succeed if you grow them undercover.
Pepper seeds should be sown indoors in April. It鈥檚 easiest to sow the seed directly into 7.5cm (3in) pots, and then transplant into 20cm (8in) pots.
Water regularly. As sweet peppers ripen they change colour from green to red, yellow, orange or dark purple, and become sweeter.
Let hot chilli peppers ripen fully before harvesting. Mature fruits are red.
AuberginesAubergines
Aubergines, also known as egg plants, are related to peppers and tomatoes.

They need a lot of warmth, so sow individual seeds into 7.5cm (3in) pots in March. To help them to germinate, soak the seeds in warm water for a day.

Transplant into a 20cm (8in) pot when 10cm (4in) tall, and pinch out the growing tip to create a bushier plant. Put in canes to support the growing plants.

Aubergines are usually dark purple, but some ornamental varieties are white or scarlet.
