Description:
Sweet peppers are a favorite home garden vegetable. Sweet Banana produces smooth, tapered, yellow fruit 6 inches long and 2 inches thick, on plants that are 20 to 24 inches tall. They may be fried, used raw, or added to relish platters, salads, or stuffed.
SOWING:
Start seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before danger of frost is past. Plant seed 1 inch apart and cover with 1/4 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Place seed starting tray in a very warm spot (both night and day) and cover with a frame of glass or clear plastic wrap to preserve moisture until germination is complete. Then place the tray in a warm, sunny window.
THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, transplant 2 inches apart in another tray. After danger of frost is past, transplant outdoors in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, spacing plants 2 feet apart in the row.
GERMINATION:
Germinates in 12 to 21 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Cool temperatures will delay germination.
REMARKS:
Many gardeners hold off heavy fertilization until the first blossom produces a small fruit which is picked off. Pepper plants produce more fruit if kept picked and not allowed to ripen. Cut instead of pulling from plant to avoid injury to plant.
