Sweet Pepper Balalaika is an excellent choice for making your own dried Paprika powder for truly authentic Hungarian goulash recipes. Of course they can still be eaten as you would with any other sweet pepper, having a mild peppery taste with no heat, and indeed are a mouthwatering choice when stuffed and roasted.
To ensure a good crop, it is best to sow with heat early and grow in a greenhouse/polytunnel.
They do sound fiddly but treat like a greenhouse tomato and you should be rewarded with lovely juicy peppers....with the added bonus of your own dried paprika too!
Sweet Pepper Balalaika Vegetable Seed Information
| Seed Quantity: | Approx 20 seeds per pack. |
| Site: |
Greenhouse/polytunnel
|
| When to Sow |
February to April (Best in March).
|
| How to Sow: |
Sow in seed trays/modules in greenhouse and lightly cover with compost and gently water. They need heat to germinate so place in heated propagator at about 28C (or an airing cupboard but remove seeds as soon as they sprout and give them warmth & light). They can be slow to germinate from 21-28 days. Pot on into 9cm pots when a set of true leaves have grown and keep at a constant temperature of 20C. Pot on again into 2L pots when they have rooted well. Either plant out in June or into 4/5L pots or the soil in a greenhouse in May/June.
|
| Care: |
They can be left to grow as cordons with supports and just pinch out the top when they reach the greenhouse roof. But the best method is to pinch out the growing tip and produce a smaller bushier plant that will only need a little staking and produce earlier fruits which should ripen easier. Water with a nitrogen rich feed (tomato feed) once a week when fruiting has begun.

| Harvest: | June to September. |
