Peppers - Sweet - Lesya Seeds
Start pepper seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date. Gently press seeds into the soil and cover lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs in 7-14 days.
For stronger plants, consider “potting up” the seedlings at least once before transplanting outdoors. When repotting, bury the stem up to the lowest set of leaves to encourage additional root growth along the buried stem. After the risk of frost has passed, transplant peppers into a sunny location, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart for optimal growth and yield.
