Planting Recommendations:

• Starting Indoors: It’s best to begin 8-10 weeks prior to the last frost, especially in Alaska’s cooler climate.
• Transition: When plants stand strong at about 6 inches and frost is behind, transplant them outdoors.
• Spot Selection: Go for areas with good sunlight and fertile, well-drained soil.

Please use gloves when cutting, seeding, touching these when they turn red. Please do not make the same mistake I did.

Peppers need to be started in late February or March in the far North. Soil temperature at germination is critical. Some like it hot…speed and increase germination with temperatures between 80 F-85 F.

Sow seed 1/4″ deep and maintain a moist growing medium. If growing in containers: 5-10 gallon pot. Peppers should be pruned for proper air circulation.
