Getting to know sweet peppers

Start with warmth

Peppers are warm-season plants. Choose a sunny location and allow outdoor conditions to become suitable before transplanting.

Pay attention below the leaves

Consistent soil moisture supports fruit quality. Water the root zone and avoid making the foliage wet unnecessarily.

A record, not a deadline

Note your variety and follow flowers and fruit as they develop. A short weekly note is more useful than expecting every plant to follow the same timetable.
