{"product_id":"mini-sweet-peppers-vegetable-seeds-packet","title":"Mini Sweet Peppers Vegetable Seeds Packet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMini Sweet Peppers (Capsicum annuum 'Red Knight') are compact plants that produce small, snack-sized peppers ripening through red, orange, and yellow. They are sweet and crunchy, and a rewarding pepper for new gardeners, in garden beds or large containers (a five-gallon pot gives enough room). Seeds are non-GMO and vacuum-sealed for freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual (perennial in frost-free climates)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-24 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun (6-8+ hours a day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 in, at 75-85F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 in between plants, 18-24 in between rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained loam rich in organic matter, pH 6.0-6.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70-85F; transplant only when soil is reliably 65F or warmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 80 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow Mini Sweet Peppers from Seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing and Germination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, sowing 1\/4 in deep.

Apply balanced fertilizer at planting and side-dress with phosphorus and potassium at flowering, avoiding excess nitrogen. Pinch early flower buds on young plants and stake lightly when heavily loaded. Peppers can be picked at any color stage. Pick regularly to encourage more fruit, cutting the stems rather than pulling. Refrigerate for 1-2 weeks, or slice and freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ocean Made","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52546901541159,"sku":"SEMSPE","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/1454\/8775\/files\/SEMSPE-1.webp?v=1794002938","url":"https:\/\/oceanmade.co\/products\/mini-sweet-peppers-vegetable-seeds-packet","provider":"Ocean Made","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
