Pepper - Cayenne
Product Info
Very hot pepper, 5" long by 1-1/2" thick, good fresh or dried. Use fresh, cooked in ethnic dishes, or these are easily dried for winter use. Wrinkled, curved fruits mature from green to red. As with all hot peppers, remember to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after picking or preparing these fruits.
Water: | Water frequently for 2 weeks after setting plants in the garden to establish a good root system. Do not allow pepper plants to wilt; this can stress your plants, reducing yields. A slow, deep watering at the roots about once a week is fine (including Mother Nature's contributions) unless your plants are wilting. |
Mature: | 75 days |
Harvest: | These are considered ripe when green and full, but are usually harvested in the red stage. HANDLE WITH CARE -- always wear gloves or wash your hands after handling hot peppers. |
