Start seeds indoors in trays 8 to 12 weeks before your anticipated transplant date. Direct sowing is not recommended for this variety. Once seedlings have developed 2 sets of true leaves, they're ready for the next stage of growth.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after your last frost date, when soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 65°F. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before moving them to their permanent location.
Direct sowing is not recommended for Yellow Sweetie Pepper. Start seeds indoors instead.
Peppers are fully ripe and have the most flavor and vitamins when they turn yellow. Pick fruits when they reach their full yellow color for peak taste and nutritional content. Harvest by gently twisting and pulling the pepper from the stem, or use a clean knife to cut the stem close to the fruit. Multiple harvests encourage continued fruit production throughout the season.
