Bell peppers require a fairly long growing season, so it's best to get them started indoors. Sow indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date in a warm, sunny location. Transplant to a moist well drained, sunny location in late spring after the soil has warmed. Weed gently so as not to disturb plants; and feed every 4-6 weeks. Fruits are ready to harvest when they're about 4 inches long. Cut or snap off fruits, along with a short piece of stalk, to avoid injuring the plant. For the best results harvest as soon as peppers reach the desired size and color. Snip with scissors.
