Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to enhance germination rates.

Sowing:

Fill seed trays or small pots with a high-quality seed starting mix.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover with soil.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C).

Use a heat mat if necessary to maintain consistent warmth.

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Transplant seedlings into the garden or larger containers, spacing them 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Stake plants if necessary to support the weight of the peppers.

Monitor for pests such as aphids and use appropriate treatments if needed.

Happy Gardening!
