SOWING: Sow seeds indoors in early spring. Sow 2 or 3 seeds in individual peat pots or other containers barely covering seeds with 1/8 inch starter mix. Place peat pots in plastic seed flat with no drainage holes. Carefully pour warm water into flat, the moisture will soak up from the bottom. Keep in a warm room and provide lots of light.
THINNING: When seedlings are about 2 inches high, carefully cut weaker plants leaving strongest single plant per pot.
TRANSPLANTING AND SPACING: Harden off young plants and plant outdoors after weather has warmed markedly and all danger of frost and cold weather has passed. Plant 18-24 inches apart.
GERMINATION: 2 to 3 weeks at 65 to 70 F. Keep soil moderately moist.
Ed’s Special Advice: Plant peppers in sunny, well drained spot in the garden. Cover with hot-caps when young if cool nights are expected. Feed lightly with vegetable food every 4 weeks. Carefully cut off short piece of stem with fruit to avoid damaging plant.
