Hi,

So, knowing my love of growing a few different things, my mum in law gave me two very lovely Szechuan pepper plants for Christmas. However, there are no growing instructions. Hedgeing my bets I'm going to put one in a pot in the back garden which is a sun trap and the other down the allotment.

Has anyone grown these before, have any tips, know when to plant them out, how to keep them alive (currently residing in he back of my car which is playing greenhouse)?????

Thanks

Pawty

If frost is forecast get them indoors as a car is no protection, long term not a clue on these.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
