Vigorous Yummy Belle was bred in the Czech Republic by a fine family owned seed house that specializes in developing delicious peppers. The compact and productive plants load up early with sweet and crunchy, thick walled fruits that quickly ripen up bright orange for harvesting. You’ll have lots of plump and pretty 3 to 4 inch minis for fresh tasty snacks, to slice into salads, top pizza or enjoy in stir fries. These versatile little sweet peppers are real winners.
In early spring, start indoors about 2 months before outdoor night temperatures are reliably in the 50-55°F (10-13°C) range. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in a container of starting mix. Keep moist but not soggy, and very warm 80-85°F (27-30°C). Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant into 4 inch individual pots. Maintain at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Feed with half strength fertilizer every 2 weeks until weather is warm enough to gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Plant out 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart into rich soil in full sun.
Don’t plant peppers outdoors until night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C). Prepare soil with aged manure or compost. Plant only robust seedlings with well-developed roots. Mulch plants to maintain even soil moisture. Stake or cage your pepper plants to support their heavy fruit set.
Pick the 3 to 4 inch peppers when fully colored up orange. Cut rather than pull them from plants. Enjoy them sliced up raw, sautéed, stir fried, grilled or piled on pizza.
