Growing your own food is one of the most rewarding things you can do in the garden. There’s nothing quite like a delicious supper made from tasty seasonal produce you’ve planted and tended yourself.

Growing peppers is easy. Plant Peppers 18 to 24 inches apart in a sunny, well-drained spot. Pepper plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Mix compost or other organic matter into the soil when planting. Water immediately after planting, then regularly throughout the season.
