GreenlyWhen to plant bell pepper in Manchester
In Manchester, bell pepper: sow seedlings around 25 March for the greenhouse and around 15 April for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 7 June; plant out into open ground around 28 June.
Last spring frost around 22 April, first autumn frost around 14 November. Frost-free days: 206 days.
The dates follow the Greenly calendar: open ground a week after the last frost once the soil is warm enough for the crop, frost-hardy crops three weeks before it, an unheated greenhouse three weeks earlier, seedlings sown so they are ready on the day. In a cold year allow a week or two more.
