Gardener’s Notes: Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 1/4 inches deep and 2 inches apart in seed-starting mix and keep warm, 80-85°F (27-30°C). When seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant in individual containers. When night temperatures stay above 50-55°F (10-13°C), acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Transplant 18-24 inches apart into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Mulch well and fertilize monthly. Harvest when peppers turn red.
