Sweet Bell Pepper
Capiscum annuum
Heirloom

The archetypical bell pepper, tender, sweet and juicy,
without a trace of pungency. Smooth and glossy, dark green, it ripens to a
bright crimson. Large, blocky, 3-4 lobed fruit has thick (up to 3/8 inch)
walls. Introduced in 1928. Vigorous, upright plant provides good cover.
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. Transplant when
soils are warm, spacing seedlings 12-18 inches apart. Enrich soil with
mature compost. Needs warm conditions day and night to germinate and fruit
well.
