Growing Peppers
Growing Peppers
- Wait until the final spring frost has passed before placing pepper plant seedlings outdoors. Optimal growth can be achieved in raised beds, containers, or in-ground gardens.
- For optimal growth, make sure to plant the pepper seeds 18-24 inches apart in a sunny and well-drained area. It is crucial to expose the plants to at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
- Incorporate compost or other organic matter into the soil during the planting process.
- Water your plants as soon as you plant them, and then consistently throughout the season. Strive for a weekly total of 1-2 inches of water, increasing the amount during hot weather.
- Enhance soil coolness and moisture retention by spreading straw or chopped leaves as a mulch..
- Provide support for each pepper plant by using either a stake or a small tomato cage. This will ensure that the plants can bear the weight of the fruit once it starts to produce.
- After harvesting, store the peppers in the refrigerator. It is important to ensure that all peppers are picked before the first fall frost arrives.
