Planting And Care

• Soil should be well-drained, but maintain adequate moisture either with mulch or plastic covering
• Water one to two inches per week, but remember peppers are extremely heat sensitive
• If you live in a warm or desert climate, watering everyday may be necessary
• Fertilize after the first fruit set
• Weed carefully around plants
• If necessary, support plants with cages or stakes to prevent bending
• Try commercially available cone-shaped wire tomato cages
• They may not be ideal for tomatoes, but they are just the thing for peppers
• For larger fruit, spray the plants with a solution of one tablespoon of Epsom salts in a gallon of water, once when it begins to bloom, and once ten days later

Capsicum Green Care

• Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last spring frost date
• The temperature must be at least 70 degrees F for seed germination, so keep them in a warm area for the best and fastest results
• Start pepper seeds three to a pot, and thin out the weakest seedling
• Let the remaining two pepper plants spend their entire lives together as one plant
• The leaves of two plants help protect peppers against sunscald, and the yield is often twice as good as two segregated plants
• Begin to harden off plants about 10 days before transplanting
• A week before transplanting, introduce fertilizer or aged compost in your garden soil
• After the danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings outdoors, 18 to 24 inches apart (but keep paired plants close to touching
• ) Soil should be at least 65 degrees F, peppers will not survive transplanting at temps any colder
• Northern gardeners can warm up the soil by covering it with black plastic
• Put two or three matchsticks in the hole with each plant, along with about a teaspoon of fertilizer
• They give the plants a bit of sulfur, which they like

Capsicum Green Special Feature

For maximum flavour, eat peppers on the same day they are picked. You can also leave them on a kitchen counter for a day or two to ripen further.
Do not place peppers in the crisper drawer or in plastic wrap or bags in the refrigerator. Peppers are warm-weather fruits and do not store well in cold temperatures. If you have too many peppers, consider the following storage options.
