Summary: Sweet Peppers are a favorite home garden vegetable. The attractive compact plants compliment any garden. Peppers are green, turning red at full maturity when the flavor sweetens considerably. They're delicious raw or cooked. Serve them in salads, stews, cut in rings as a garnish, in casseroles, or stuffed and baked. 
When and where to plant:  Start seeds indoors in a sunny, warm location 7-8 weeks before the last spring frost. Transplant to a sunny well drained location in the late spring after the soil has warmed. Loosen soil with a spade or fork, fertilize with vegetble food and water thoroughly. Great in containers and sunny flower beds.
Care: Keep soil moist, weed free and feed every 4-6 weeks.
Harvesting: To avoid injuring plants, carefully cut or snap off fruits along with a short piece of stalk. 
Health Note:  A rich source of vitamins A and C.
