Pepper, Sweet, Margaret's

Margaret's Pepper

Capsicum annuum

Large, sweet peppers with a pointed end.  Growing 5-7" long fruit after 62 days.  Peppers are good green and even better when they mature turning green then orange darkening into a deep red.

Growing:

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last average frost.  Plant in full sun in rich, well drained soil.

Seed Saving:

Save seeds from large fully ripe (red) peppers.  Simply cut open the pepper and remove the seeds.  Dry on a plate or bowl in a warm area with good air circulation until seed breaks easily when folded.  Protect from moisture and store in a cool, dark place.

Will cross pollinate with other sweet and some hot peppers through insect pollination.  Protect with cages or seperate plants by min 30' from other peppers.
