GIY – Green Capsicum Seeds

• Start planting seeds indoors, 8-10 weeks before winter ends. Keep them warm for germination.

• Plant three capsicum seeds in one pot, and thin out the weakest seedling. Let the remaining two seeds grow as one plant so that the peppers remain protected from excessive sunlight.

• A week before transplanting, introduce fertilizer or aged compost to the garden soil.

• Transplant seedlings outdoors, 18 to 24 inches apart (but keep paired plants in close proximity)

• Put two or three match sticks in the hollow with each plant, along with almost a teaspoon of fertilizer. The matchsticks provide sulfur to the plants.
