Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start seeds early and transplant only when soil is consistently warm (60°F+) to prevent cold-stunting; harvest long green-to-red fruits for best drying or flakes.
