Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth (75-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors in full sun. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full color (red) for maximum heat and flavor.
