Growing NotesPeppers like it warm! Be patient and wait to put them in the garden for soil temperatures to be at least 65 degrees.
Battle of the BugsEverything that goes after tomatoes also likes peppers (they are in the same family, after all).
Fun FactPeppers are technically perennials so if you bring them inside over winter, they just might live for multiple years!
Don’t Waste It!Peppers are tough to grow to full color, so don’t let them go to waste! Eat ’em raw, roasted, or steamed. Cut up peppers and put them in the freezer to save some for later.
