Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Optional: Soaking seeds in warm water for 1-2 hours may help speed up germination.

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing (recommended for early start):
  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in seed trays or pots with quality seed-starting mix.
  • Keep the soil temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for the best results.
  • Maintain consistent moisture, but avoid waterlogging.
• Outdoor Sowing:
  • Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 65°F (18°C).
  • Plant the seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep and space them 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart for good airflow and room to grow.

Germination:

• Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy, during germination.

Transplanting:

• If sowing indoors, harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before transplanting.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Water consistently but avoid overwatering. Keep the soil moist, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Water at the base of the plants, not overhead, to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Fertilization:

• Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost regularly, especially once the plants begin to flower and set fruit.
• A fertilizer with higher potassium content can encourage better fruit development.

Weed Control:

• Remove weeds regularly to prevent competition for nutrients and water.
• Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and reduce weed growth.

Support:

• Depending on the plant size, use stakes or cages to support the plants and prevent branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit.

Harvesting:

• Bell peppers can be harvested when they reach full size and color. They are typically green when immature but turn red, yellow, or orange as they ripen.
• Use scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers from the plant, avoiding damage to the stems.

Culinary Uses:

• Fresh: Enjoy raw in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish.
• Cooked: Use in stir-fries, roasted vegetables, soups, or stews for a sweet, mild flavor.
• Stuffed Peppers: Hollow out the peppers and fill with rice, meat, or beans for a delicious meal.
• Preserved: Can be pickled or frozen for later use.

Benefits of Growing Bell Peppers:

• Rich in Nutrients: Bell peppers are high in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber.
• Versatile: Can be used in a variety of dishes, both raw and cooked.
• High Yield: Once established, bell pepper plants will produce an abundance of peppers throughout the growing season.
