I have never really had any success growing peppers, mind you, I haven't
really made any effort beyond potting them on to 6 inch pots and then
forgetting them.
This year I am determined to look after them.
I have planted 5 up in the greenhouse border after digging the soil over &
giving it a liberal dose of blood fish & bone.
Any advise regarding the support, cultivation would be appreciated.

It's too early unless the greenhouse is heated, by about 2 months I'd say.

How do you achieve that?
Whereabouts are you? Is it free standing or lean-to?
