SOWING: For best results, sow indoors 8-10 weeks before last spring frost. Set transplants in the garden after the last frost. Can also be direct grown after soil warms.
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.
Bill Mulvihill –
I’ve grown this variety for 3 years. Good germination and produces an abundant crop of thick walled, large sweet peppers.
