    70 days. Do you find it difficult to get bell peppers to ripen in your microclimate or would you prefer to be the first on the block with ripe peppers? Then try growing Staddon's Select. This blocky 3–4 lobe thick-walled pepper gets large and sweet and will turn from a glossy green to a bright red right on the vine. TMV

    Capsicum annuum Our wide array of fabulous peppers, both sweet and hot, offers one of the richest sources of nutrients in the plant kingdom. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which revs up your metabolism and reduces general inflammation in the body.

    Culture

    • Peppers are warm-season annuals that grow best in composted, well-drained soils with a pH of 5.5-6.8
    • Extra calcium and phosphorus are needed for highest yields
    • Plants perform best when grown in raised beds and covered with plastic mulch
    • Row cover young plants, remove after blossoms form
    • Peppers grow slowly in cool soils; do not transplant before weather has stabilized
    • Peppers set fruit best between 65-85°F

    Direct Sowing
    • Not recommended

    Transplanting
    • Start seeds in trays 8-12 weeks before anticipated transplant date
    • Once seedlings have 2 sets of true leaves, up-pot to a 4 inch pot
    • Use 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer and a shovelful of compost around each plant
    • Fertilize with Age Old Bloom when plants begin to flower
