Sweet Bell Peppers - Golden Bell The Sweet Bell Pepper Golden Bell, 'Capsicum annuum', produces a golden pepper with good fruit size. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. They can be picked green or you can wait for the fruits to turn yellow for the sweetest flavor. The Golden Bell pepper is great for chili and salads and for just eating by itself. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Arguably, it is the sweetest tasting pepper with nice, juicy, thick flesh. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. |
