Compact, bushy plants produce generous crops of small, glossy green peppers that are harvested young, when they are about 1½–2½ inches long. Most are mild and sweet, but every so often one surprises you with real heat, which is all part of the fun. They are best blistered in hot olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, and are also delicious grilled, roasted or sautéed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm-season vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, green, 1½–2½ in (4–6 cm) at harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mostly mild, occasionally hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, bushy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 in (30–45 cm); rows 18–24 in apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼–½ in (0.5–1 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, 6–8 hours daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, consistent moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Sow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼–½ inch deep in seed trays or small pots and keep them warm, around 75–85°F (24–29°C); seedlings usually appear in 1–2 weeks. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart with rows 18–24 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser once seedlings are established. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and support plants with stakes or small cages if they become heavy with fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick peppers while they are small, green and firm, about 1½–2½ inches long, for the classic mild flavour. Peppers left on the plant grow larger, hotter and eventually turn red. Regular picking keeps plants producing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45697879474359,"sku":"SPA-DEC8-357","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__neatly-placed-green-bell-peppers-in-rustic-ceramic__65593.png?v=1767088009","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/padron-pepper-seeds-capsicum-annuum-green-spanish-tapas-pepper-for-home-garden","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
