When the seedlings develop two pairs of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots to encourage robust growth.
Transplant plants to a garden in full sun once the risk of frost has passed and nights are warm enough (12°C or more). Space plants 30cm apart in rows 60cm apart. Water regularly, especially during flowering, to maintain consistent moisture, and fertilize once a month with a high-potassium fertilizer to encourage maximum production.
Harvest peppers when they reach their full yellow color to enjoy their optimal sweetness and firmness. The 'Early Sensation' sweet pepper is a great option to enrich your vegetable garden with a tasty and easy-to-grow variety.
