Growing & Planting Pimento Sweet Pepper Seeds
Planting SeedsStart Pimento sweet pepper seeds indoors in peat pots about 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds about 1/2" deep and keep soil at 80-85F until germination. Provide natural sunlight or use a LED grow light for 12-16 hours a day. When the outside temperature reaches 70-75F, harden off your plants gradually before transplanting seedlings outside. After danger of last frost, transplant your pepper plant seedlings to garden in rich soil and full sun with about 16" between pepper plants and about 36" between rows.
Growing
Peppers grow very well in containers or raised beds. These pepper plants will grow about 24" tall. Always remember too, you can always grow peppers indoors as well 365 days a year. Just certain extra steps are required versus growing them outdoors such as lighting and pollination. When growing outdoors lastly apply a generous amount of mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds during the growing season.
Harvesting
Harvest sweet peppers when you prefer. Please note however the longer the peppers mature on the plant, the sweeter the peppers will be. If you want to encourage continuous fruiting always pick the peppers while still in the green stage. This way the pepper plants will keep on producing. By letting the peppers mature past the green stage will signal the plant to stop producing. By continuously picking sweet peppers you'll get an extended harvest.
