HOW TO GROW PEPPER, SWEET
Start indoors 10 weeks before last frost, plant out 2 weeks after last frost. When true leave show, pot up to 3-4” pot, grow at 70˚F day and 60˚F night. Plant out when nights are above 53-55˚F. Water in with phosphorus solution. Peppers have shallow roots and appreciate frequent light watering. They thrive on lighter sandy or silt loam soils that warm up fast allowing vigorous early growth before flowering. Use row covers if danger of frost. If you live in a part of the country where pepper plants yield only couple fruits per year, grow more plants. Peppers grow well in containers or raised beds. Soil pH 5.5-6.8. Hardiness zones 9.

Aleppo pepper is one of the main pepper spices originally from Aleppo, Syria, dating back to the 6th century BCE. It is commonly dried and crushed or ground. It has a moderate heat complex, with an almost smoky flavor. Fruits ripen to a rich red, almost burgundy color, and are 4-6” long. Plants can grow up to 4’ tall, so staking may be necessary.
