Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist at 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. Peppers need warm soil and full sun to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when the first flowers appear. Harvest pods when they reach full size and are still green for roasting, or let them turn red for a sweeter, drier chile. Use caution when handling hot peppers and wash hands thoroughly afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 25 Hatch Giuseppe Pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67726879686966,"sku":"BOTAN4-063","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7699162199_b1y6.jpg?v=1791980067","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/hatch-giuseppe-pepper-seeds-new-mexico-chile-mild-hot-green-chile-heirloom-25-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
