Watering
Sweet peppers thrive when soil is consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Harvesting
To harvest peppers wait when they reach the desired size and color. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a short stem attached. Avoid pulling or twisting the peppers to prevent damage to the plant. Harvest regularly to encourage more fruit production.
Culinary/ Uses
Sweet Peppers are great when added to salads, stir-fries, roasted dishes, in sandwiches, pizzas, or as a flavorful topping for various recipes.
