Poppin’ peppers in the ground

Show Date: 20 May 10
Peppers are usually the last to go in the ground.  They love warm soil…  these little poppers need to be hardened off as well.

Gradually climatize them to the outdoors.  With the stellar weather expected, they should do well being outdoors for short periods of time. 

Don’t put them in blazing sun right away.  Let them get used to “real” weather, not the weather in your basement! 

Hot drying winds and dry soil can inhibit fruit set.  Be sure they get plenty to drink without them sitting in water!

By the way, ’Godfather’ is a great grilling pepper that produces prolifically.
