GROWING PEPPER SEEDS
Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.
Pepper varieties are derived from environments with high humidity and tropical climates. Temperature, moisture, and air circulation are essential factors in successfully growing plants from seeds. Improper heat, excessive moisture, and inadequate air flow can result in poor outcomes.

Just like tomatoes, these peppers have similar needs for optimal growth. To ensure a successful harvest, plant them in fertile soil with ample sunlight and regular watering of about one inch per week. Much like tomatoes, pimento peppers thrive in similar conditions.
At Planting Time:
We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2³ thick layer of compost.
