When: Can be sown indoors, 8-12 weeks before the final frost. Chilli Peppers like heat so be sure to transplant well after the danger of frost has dissipated.
Planting Guide: Broadcast 2-3 seeds in moist soil and lightly cover with compost. Full sun. Soil should be not dry but not damp either - right in between. Harden before transplanting for about 7 days. Space about 24" apart in the ground.
Harvest: The more you pick, the more that will grow, however, these are generally at full maturity when they are a deep red colour. All chillies must be harvested before the first frost.
Tip: Dry or freeze them to get the most from your chillies year round.
