Bell pepper is a heat-loving, capricious crop and its seeds are not much better.
They germinate slowly, and you have to wait for more than one day for the shoots to appear. Therefore, gardeners begin sowing pepper seeds for seedlings a little earlier than the same tomatoes.
Let's find out when is the best time to do this during the 2025 planting season.
Growing pepper seedlings
It is worth noting that gardeners also call eggplant seeds “slow to germinate”.
Therefore, in order to begin harvesting the first vegetable crop in mid-summer, sowing of these crops often begins in the second half of February.
The exact date can only be calculated taking into account the climatic and weather conditions of your region and the recommendations of the seed manufacturer.
The best days of January
Those who can't wait to open the summer cottage season this month can begin preparing for sowing.
According to the recommendations of the lunar calendar for gardeners and vegetable growers, work can be carried out on January 22 and 23.
But the 31st is considered ideal for sowing.
The best days of February
February is more promising in terms of sowing.
In the first half of the month, you can plan work on the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th.
In the second half of the month, the gardener will have only three days at his disposal: the 18th, 19th and 20th.
During this time, you need to prepare containers for seedlings, soil, choose a variety, buy seeds and perform other necessary work.
