Sweet Peppers

Sweet peppers are a tasty, versatile vegetable

Bell peppers have a long growing season, anywhere from 60 to 90 days. That’s why most gardeners prefer to start the seeds indoors and then take them outside for the plants to enjoy the sun and heat that help them grow. 

Planting bell peppers in different colors yields a festive look for any dish, and, fun fact, a green pepper is simply a red pepper, just picked before it turns red!

Harvested peppers can be enjoyed raw or cooked, in salads, stuffed, or on top of toasted bread as an easy appetizer.
