It\u2019s still too ear\u00adly for toma\u00adtoes, they grow too quick\u00adly due to the poor light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons and grow hor\u00adny, i.e. not strong and com\u00adpact. It real\u00adly is a good idea to sow the majo\u00adri\u00adty of toma\u00adtoes in mid\/end March and wait until then. Howe\u00adver, sowing one or two plants towards the end of Febru\u00adary can be a good way to get some ear\u00adly toma\u00adtoes. Most plants grow bet\u00adter by sowing later becau\u00adse the\u00adre is more light available. In Febru\u00adary, light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons are still unfa\u00advorable due to a com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of short days and low sun. Seeds need ple\u00adnty of light to grow healt\u00adhi\u00adly, so it can be dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to grow healt\u00adhy seed\u00adlings indoors whe\u00adre light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons are still less favorable than out\u00addoors. Place the seeds on the brigh\u00adtest win\u00addows\u00adill you have. If you don\u2019t mana\u00adge to grow strong, robust plants from seeds sown in Febru\u00adary, try later in the year and the plants will catch up, or invest in a good qua\u00adli\u00adty LED grow light. Ano\u00adther opti\u00adon, of cour\u00adse, is to sim\u00adply buy chi\u00adlies and egg\u00adplants as young plants later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Great](\"https:\/\/bio-balkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/paprika-und-chili-1-e1497810139855.avif\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nExtra tip for pep\u00adpers and chi\u00adli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Chi\u00adli expert Alex\u00adan\u00adder Hick<\/a>s recom\u00admends the Sowing pep\u00adpers and chi\u00adli pep\u00adpers<\/strong> for mid-Febru\u00adary:<\/p>\n\n\n\nOpi\u00adni\u00adons dif\u00adfer great\u00adly on this. Many chi\u00adli fri\u00adends say that you have to cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adte them as peren\u00adni\u00adals, i.e. start sowing in Octo\u00adber or Novem\u00adber so that you can get fruit rela\u00adtively quick\u00adly later on. I have a dif\u00adfe\u00adrent opi\u00adni\u00adon. For me, the sea\u00adson usual\u00adly starts in Janu\u00adary, alt\u00adhough Janu\u00adary is only becau\u00adse we do so much. If we did less, the sea\u00adson would\u00adn\u2019t actual\u00adly start for me until Mid-Febru\u00adary<\/strong> start. But as we sim\u00adply don\u2019t have the time other\u00adwi\u00adse, we start the sea\u00adson in Janu\u00adary so that we can fit ever\u00ady\u00adthing in and not fall behind sche\u00addu\u00adle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom your expe\u00adri\u00adence, would you recom\u00admend mid-Febru\u00adary for us bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny gar\u00adden\u00aders who do this as a hob\u00adby?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exact\u00adly. So for almost ever\u00ady\u00adthing, I would recom\u00admend mid-Febru\u00adary. With pep\u00adpers, wild and semi-wild varie\u00adties are some\u00adti\u00admes popu\u00adlar, at least with die-hard chi\u00adli fans, so you can also start in Janu\u00adary. But for the stan\u00addard varie\u00adties, pep\u00adpers, mid-Febru\u00adary is per\u00adfect\u00adly ade\u00adqua\u00adte. You can even go into March in some cases. I can say from my own expe\u00adri\u00adence that if you start in mid-Febru\u00adary with the other types of chil\u00adli, with the cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adted varie\u00adties, you can still get ever\u00ady\u00adthing to ripen wit\u00adhout any pro\u00adblems if the wea\u00adther and cli\u00adma\u00adte play along accor\u00addin\u00adgly. If the wea\u00adther does\u00adn\u2019t coope\u00adra\u00adte, then even start\u00ading in Octo\u00adber won\u2019t help. I see this every year with a lot of peo\u00adp\u00adle who start very ear\u00adly and at the end of the day are no fur\u00adther along than tho\u00adse who star\u00adted much later.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\nEgg\u00adplants, chi\u00adlies and pep\u00adpers<\/strong> must grow for around 20 weeks befo\u00adre they bear fruit. Sowing them in mid-Febru\u00adary impro\u00adves the chan\u00adces that they will bear fruit in the hot\u00adtest months of the year. Howe\u00adver, if sown later (depen\u00adding on the varie\u00adty \u2014 look out for fruit-bea\u00adring ones), a good har\u00adve\u00adst is often pos\u00adsi\u00adble by the end of March. Bell pep\u00adper and chi\u00adli plants can be kept as peren\u00adni\u00adals, they can over\u00adwin\u00adter in a bright and frost-free place. They should then be che\u00adcked regu\u00adlar\u00adly for pest infe\u00adsta\u00adti\u00adon, which can wea\u00adk\u00aden the plant too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChi\u00adli, egg\u00adplant and toma\u00adto seeds ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adte more relia\u00adbly in warm con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons (25 \u2014 30 \u00b0C is best, 16 \u00b0C is the mini\u00admum). A warm place abo\u00adve a hea\u00adter or the back of the fri\u00addge is favorable, or a con\u00adtai\u00adner with a ple\u00adxi\u00adglass lid and a heat source under\u00adneath. After ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon, they need to be pla\u00adced in the brigh\u00adtest light and can cope with slight\u00adly lower tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPota\u00adtoes<\/strong> can alre\u00ada\u00addy be pre-ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adted for sowing. A bright place at around 10 degrees is ide\u00adal. In war\u00admer regi\u00adons, they can be plan\u00adted out\u00addoors towards the end of Febru\u00adary if the ten\u00adder shoots are pro\u00adtec\u00adted from frost with a bell or fleece, in col\u00adder regi\u00adons from the begin\u00adning of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGre\u00adat wild plants with beau\u00adtiful, insect-fri\u00adend\u00adly flowers can be sown on the bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny in Febru\u00adary (until June):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s still too ear\u00adly for toma\u00adtoes, they grow too quick\u00adly due to the poor light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons and grow hor\u00adny, i.e. not strong and com\u00adpact. It real\u00adly is a good idea to sow the majo\u00adri\u00adty of toma\u00adtoes in mid\/end March and wait until then. Howe\u00adver, sowing one or two plants towards the end of Febru\u00adary can be a good way to get some ear\u00adly toma\u00adtoes. Most plants grow bet\u00adter by sowing later becau\u00adse the\u00adre is more light available. In Febru\u00adary, light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons are still unfa\u00advorable due to a com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of short days and low sun. Seeds need ple\u00adnty of light to grow healt\u00adhi\u00adly, so it can be dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to grow healt\u00adhy seed\u00adlings indoors whe\u00adre light con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons are still less favorable than out\u00addoors. Place the seeds on the brigh\u00adtest win\u00addows\u00adill you have. If you don\u2019t mana\u00adge to grow strong, robust plants from seeds sown in Febru\u00adary, try later in the year and the plants will catch up, or invest in a good qua\u00adli\u00adty LED grow light. Ano\u00adther opti\u00adon, of cour\u00adse, is to sim\u00adply buy chi\u00adlies and egg\u00adplants as young plants later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chi\u00adli expert Alex\u00adan\u00adder Hick<\/a>s recom\u00admends the Sowing pep\u00adpers and chi\u00adli pep\u00adpers<\/strong> for mid-Febru\u00adary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opi\u00adni\u00adons dif\u00adfer great\u00adly on this. Many chi\u00adli fri\u00adends say that you have to cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adte them as peren\u00adni\u00adals, i.e. start sowing in Octo\u00adber or Novem\u00adber so that you can get fruit rela\u00adtively quick\u00adly later on. I have a dif\u00adfe\u00adrent opi\u00adni\u00adon. For me, the sea\u00adson usual\u00adly starts in Janu\u00adary, alt\u00adhough Janu\u00adary is only becau\u00adse we do so much. If we did less, the sea\u00adson would\u00adn\u2019t actual\u00adly start for me until Mid-Febru\u00adary<\/strong> start. But as we sim\u00adply don\u2019t have the time other\u00adwi\u00adse, we start the sea\u00adson in Janu\u00adary so that we can fit ever\u00ady\u00adthing in and not fall behind sche\u00addu\u00adle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n From your expe\u00adri\u00adence, would you recom\u00admend mid-Febru\u00adary for us bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny gar\u00adden\u00aders who do this as a hob\u00adby?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exact\u00adly. So for almost ever\u00ady\u00adthing, I would recom\u00admend mid-Febru\u00adary. With pep\u00adpers, wild and semi-wild varie\u00adties are some\u00adti\u00admes popu\u00adlar, at least with die-hard chi\u00adli fans, so you can also start in Janu\u00adary. But for the stan\u00addard varie\u00adties, pep\u00adpers, mid-Febru\u00adary is per\u00adfect\u00adly ade\u00adqua\u00adte. You can even go into March in some cases. I can say from my own expe\u00adri\u00adence that if you start in mid-Febru\u00adary with the other types of chil\u00adli, with the cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adted varie\u00adties, you can still get ever\u00ady\u00adthing to ripen wit\u00adhout any pro\u00adblems if the wea\u00adther and cli\u00adma\u00adte play along accor\u00addin\u00adgly. If the wea\u00adther does\u00adn\u2019t coope\u00adra\u00adte, then even start\u00ading in Octo\u00adber won\u2019t help. I see this every year with a lot of peo\u00adp\u00adle who start very ear\u00adly and at the end of the day are no fur\u00adther along than tho\u00adse who star\u00adted much later.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Egg\u00adplants, chi\u00adlies and pep\u00adpers<\/strong> must grow for around 20 weeks befo\u00adre they bear fruit. Sowing them in mid-Febru\u00adary impro\u00adves the chan\u00adces that they will bear fruit in the hot\u00adtest months of the year. Howe\u00adver, if sown later (depen\u00adding on the varie\u00adty \u2014 look out for fruit-bea\u00adring ones), a good har\u00adve\u00adst is often pos\u00adsi\u00adble by the end of March. Bell pep\u00adper and chi\u00adli plants can be kept as peren\u00adni\u00adals, they can over\u00adwin\u00adter in a bright and frost-free place. They should then be che\u00adcked regu\u00adlar\u00adly for pest infe\u00adsta\u00adti\u00adon, which can wea\u00adk\u00aden the plant too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chi\u00adli, egg\u00adplant and toma\u00adto seeds ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adte more relia\u00adbly in warm con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons (25 \u2014 30 \u00b0C is best, 16 \u00b0C is the mini\u00admum). A warm place abo\u00adve a hea\u00adter or the back of the fri\u00addge is favorable, or a con\u00adtai\u00adner with a ple\u00adxi\u00adglass lid and a heat source under\u00adneath. After ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon, they need to be pla\u00adced in the brigh\u00adtest light and can cope with slight\u00adly lower tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pota\u00adtoes<\/strong> can alre\u00ada\u00addy be pre-ger\u00admi\u00adna\u00adted for sowing. A bright place at around 10 degrees is ide\u00adal. In war\u00admer regi\u00adons, they can be plan\u00adted out\u00addoors towards the end of Febru\u00adary if the ten\u00adder shoots are pro\u00adtec\u00adted from frost with a bell or fleece, in col\u00adder regi\u00adons from the begin\u00adning of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have mark\u00aded my favo\u00adri\u00adte pro\u00adven wild plants for con\u00adtai\u00adners in bold.

As a bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny gar\u00adde\u00adner, don\u2019t let yours\u00adelf be con\u00adfu\u00adsed or put off by the abun\u00addant oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties for crop rota\u00adti\u00adon and mixed cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon, which I often expe\u00adri\u00adence becau\u00adse nobo\u00addy wants to do any\u00adthing wrong.
