Growing peppers can be a tricky endeavor without the right knowledge, but it can also be truly rewarding. There are so many varieties of peppers out there with varying spices that it is easy to find one to suit your culinary needs. There are a few tips to follow, however, that are sure to make this growing season a success. These fickle plants crave consistent heat and plenty of sunshine, at least 6 hours of full sun a day. They grow best in well-amended soil that contains organic matter, balanced fertilizer or, if possible, higher nitrogen and phosphorous levels. Fertilizer should be utilized again when the first vegetables are about one inch in size. One level tablespoon should be sprinkled about six inches from each stalk and then worked into the soil evenly. Don’t forget to water right after the fertilizer is applied. You should water frequently, but their soil should not be soggy. You should also check to ensure that their soil is draining correctly, which can be helped by constructing raised beds. They should then receive fertilizer every three to four weeks during their growing season. If you follow these easy steps, you are sure to have some spicy treasures to add to any dish.
