WHEN TO GROW

Peppers grow really well in Texas during our warmer months. Typically, hot peppers (including jalapeño peppers, shishito peppers, and serrano peppers) and sweet peppers (like banana or sweet italian peppers) can better handle our hot climate and are great for beginner gardeners.

WHERE TO GROW

Pepper plants can be grown in a raised bed or larger pot. I like to grow my pepper plants in my raised bed, which is filled with well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

HOW TO GROW

Plant pepper plants 9"-12" apart with good quality soil/compost mix and an all purpose organic fertilizer mixed into the soil.

WHEN TO HARVEST

Peppers are usually ready to harvest in 3-4 months after planting depending on the type of pepper you are growing.
