The Sweet Bell Pepper Golden Bell, 'Capsicum annuum', produces a golden pepper with good fruit size. The Golden Bell pepper is great for chili and salads and for just eating by itself. Arguably, it is the sweetest tasting pepper with nice, juicy, thick flesh. They can be picked green or you can wait for the fruits to turn yellow for the sweetest flavor.Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls of water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size.
