Golden Bell Pepper : Organic

I started with a 6" starter plant, USDA Organic Golden Bell Pepper (Chile Campana Dorada) locally grown from Smith Gardens. Golden Bell Peppers are more sweet than spicy and have a beautiful golden yellow skin and flesh. I planted my Golden Bell Pepper directly into a large, deep plastic container in full sun. (right) My Bell Pepper is just starting to produce fruit about 1/2" - 1" in size.

Growing Tips: Bell Peppers prefer full sun and water regularly, especially in the hot, dry summer months (lack of water will give peppers a bitter taste). Bell Peppers grow 18" - 24" tall. Space plants 18" apart in rows 24" - 36" apart. Bell Peppers have very deep roots and require large, deep pots if grown in containers. Fertilize monthly.

Harvesting: Golden Bell Peppers mature in 75 days, harvest when fruit is golden yellow and firm.
