How to grow Growing pepper plants??
Hello friends
Growing pepper plants is as simple as transplanting some seedlings once the soil warms and the threat of frost has passed. For the keen gardener, cultivating pepper seeds in a cold frame towards the end of winter will give you a head start and they can be planted out as the seedlings mature provided they're covered with a garden cloche. As they grow, pepper plants will require staking to support their fragile frame - fragile due to the weight of the fruit as they mature. The definition of mature peppers depends upon when you decide to pick them. Green peppers are merely an unripened pepper while red peppers have been allowed to ripen for longer allowing the pigments to enhance. Provided you water your pepper plants regularly, usually every day during the hotter months - and certainly once the fruit has set - they should produce well. Fertilizing them with a liquid fertilizer and soluble feed such as blood and bone will help them immensely and should be applied every 2-4 weeks.You can also retain the seeds from one, or two, of your more mature fruit to ensure that growing pepper plants in your garden will continue again the following year Thanks for reading |

While your seedlings are growing, get your garden ready. Add plenty of compost, manure, and a general fertilizer.
Peppers like hot weather. Transplant young seedlings outdoors after the last chance of frost. If the weather is still cool, delay transplanting a few days, and keep them in a coldframe, indoors, or next to the house. Space 18-24 inches apart, in rows 24 to 30 inches apart. Mulching around the peppers to keep down weeds, retain moisture, and help to feed the plant. As the peppers develop, switch over to a fertilizer higher in Phosphorous and Potassium. Gardeners often make the mistake of providing too much nitrogen. The result is a great looking bushy, green plant, but few fruit. |
