Planting & Care

Start Big Jim seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil warm (75-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for garden planting after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and are firm, typically 70-80 days after transplanting. For roasted chiles, harvest when they are green or allow them to turn red for a sweeter flavor.
