This is a heirloom variety and 100% organic home grown, seeds passed through generations. This particular variety is very large and has amazing texture. Feed them wit fish emulsion and you will never be disappointed with the yield throughout the summer.
Harvest usually takes about 75 days from seedling but longer makes it grow even bigger. This plant gets to an average height of 4 feet and looks gorgeous with lots of pepper hanging.
WHEN TO PLANT PEPPERS
• Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last spring frost date.
• Bell peppers require a fairly long growing season (60 to 90 days), so it’s best to get them started indoors.
CHOOSING AND PREPARING A PLANTING SITE
• Pepper plants require full sun to produce the largest and healthiest fruit, so pick a site that won’t get shaded out by trees or other garden plants.
• Soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter.
• A soil consistency somewhere between sandy and loamy will ensure that the soil drains well and warms quickly.
• Soil pH should be on the acidic side—5.5 to 6.5, ideally.
• A week before transplanting peppers into the garden, introduce fertilizer or aged compost into your garden soil.
• Avoid planting peppers in places where you’ve recently grown other members of the nightshade family—such as tomatoes, potatoes, or eggplants—as this can expose peppers to disease.
HOW TO PLANT PEPPERS
• Recommended to start seeds indoors rather than in the garden.
• The soil temperature must be at least 70°F for seed germination, so keep them in a warm area for the best and fastest results. Use a heat pad under the seed tray, if necessary.
• Plant seeds about ¼-inch deep.
TRANSPLANTING YOUNG PLANTS INTO THE GARDEN
• Begin to harden off plants about 10 days before transplanting outdoors.
• Once nighttime temperatures reach at least 60°F, transplant seedlings outdoors, space them 18” to 24” apart.
• Plant the transplants no deeper than they were already; otherwise, the stems may become susceptible to rot.
• Soil temperature should be at least 65°F, as peppers will not survive transplanting at temps any colder. Northern gardeners can warm up the soil by covering it with black plastic.
CARE
HOW TO GROW PEPPERS
• Soil should be well drained, but be sure to maintain adequate moisture either with mulch or plastic covering.
• Water one to two inches per week, but remember that 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. Peppers love fish emulsion, consider feeding once every two weeks.
• Weed carefully around plants to avoid disturbing roots.
• If necessary, support plants with cages or stakes to prevent bending. Try commercially available cone-shaped wire tomato cages.
