SOW: indoors from March to end of May, in a warm soil barely covering the seeds as they need light to germinate.

You can grow them in the soil, in a container or in a grow bag. Biquinho can take 4 months before the fruits start to ripen to bright red, happy plants are prolific until the first frosts.
EAT: ready to use in salads, sauces, casseroles, pizzas… pop them in whole for a burst of flavour. These are also a good choice for pickling or freezing
