Bell peppers bring the sweet and come in shades from green to red to golden yellow. These sunshine-loving veggies are surprisingly easy to grow and love warm weather just as much as we do. Whether you’re stuffing them, slicing them raw, or grilling them to perfection, sweet peppers are sure to make any plate shine.

Water well after planting – maintain 1” – 2″ of water once a week throughout the growing season.
Feed with a slow-release fertilizer during the growing season.
