hot pepper

Angelo’s Farm Market veggies are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for several hot pepper varieties including favorites ‘Super Chili’, ‘Cayenne Long Slim’, ‘Jalapeno’ and ‘Habanero’, pickling types ‘Hungarian Hot Banana’ and ‘Cherry Hot’, or savory hot ‘Siracha’, ‘Poblano’, and ‘Serrano del Sol’.

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
