Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep soil temperature around 75-85°F for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off gradually before moving to the garden after all danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer according to package instructions. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest peppers when they reach desired size and color—green for a tangy flavor or red for maximum sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 California Wonder Sweet Bell Pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835985363254,"sku":"FOLIA2-1546","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6511489124_ce2m.jpg?v=1793096900","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/california-wonder-sweet-bell-pepper-seeds-30-heirloom-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
