    here are a few growing tips:

   Here's a mistake a lot of people make. Do not. Push the seeds.  Into the soil in the transplant trays or peat pots. Because it will compact the soil and your seedlings won't develop correctly.  So just fill your trays or pots half way put your seeds in and gently cover with dirt.    

    Next this is very important  when you're watering your seedling do this. Gently do you don't wash the dirt and the seeds away. 

   Sweet Banana pepper  can take up too  two weeks to germinate  so be patient. 

     If you want to give your seedlings a extra boost  

   Try cutting the bottoms off of two liter bottles.  And setting them over your transplants.  

  Keep the weeds down   

   We highly recommend  using a black or red mulch.   This will ensure  that there is no weed pressure

     And you can grow these year around.  In a greenhouse.  Peppers are self pollinating so you don't need bees 

Plant early plant often
