Early Summer' Pepper (Capsicum)

(Pepper-Sweet) ‘Early Summer’ is an excellent choice to add to your kitchen garden. This strong performer produces numerous 4-5” glossy sweet peppers with thick walls that ripen from a deep green to a bright sunny yellow. While you can pick the peppers when they are green, the best flavor and indication of ripeness is when the pepper has matured to yellow. ‘Early Summer’ Sweet Pepper will grow 18-24” high by 12-18” wide and can be grown directly in the garden or placed in containers on a balcony, deck, or patio. The uniform blocky shape of ‘Early Summer’ is perfect for creating delicious stuffed peppers, or using fresh in salads, grilling or roasting, or preserving the sweet summer flavor by canning or freezing to enjoy in the winter months. Place the pepper plants in an area that gets full sun after the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. To keep your pepper plants performing their best, water regularly and feed monthly with a fertilizer formulated for vegetables. Nothing says summer like the sweet taste of bell peppers and ‘Early Summer’ is sure to please.
