How to choose which peppers to grow in your garden

Published

on

Do you want to add a little spice to your life? If so, here are a few tips to help you choose peppers you’ll love to eat and grow.

Intensity
Although it may be tempting to grow the hottest peppers you can find, you don’t want to end up with dozens of them you can’t eat because they’re too potent. Therefore, make sure you choose a variety that you can comfortably handle.

Preference
Think about the recipes you like to cook and find out which types of peppers would enhance the dishes you create without masking the taste or overpowering your palate.

Difficulty
In general, mild peppers germinate quicker and are easier to grow than hot peppers. Additionally, when buying pepper seeds or starters, make sure the varieties you choose are suitable for your climate.

Happy gardening!
