Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80°F) for best germination. Harden off young plants ten days before transplanting and plant outdoors after last spring frost. Harvest peppers when they are bright red and fully ripe for best flavor.
