Growing Sweet Capsicum in Sydney
Sweet Capsicum is a warm-season vegetable that performs best in a sunny position with plenty of direct sunlight.
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly, particularly during hot weather and while the plant is flowering and producing fruit.
Feed with a quality vegetable fertiliser during active growth to encourage healthy plants and good fruit production.
Capsicums can generally be harvested while green or left on the plant to develop further colour and sweetness, depending on the variety.
