Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently warm and moist. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days when soil temperatures are around 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for the garden after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting, and feed with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package directions. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color, typically red for Fresno types. Use clean scissors or pruners to cut the stems rather than pulling the peppers from the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 25 Fresno Chili Pepper seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739785462070,"sku":"EDNA-543","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7787790335_tb3j.jpg?v=1792115827","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/fresno-chili-pepper-seeds-25-hot-red-garden-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
