Sow 'Redskin' sweet pepper seeds indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, in a light, well-drained potting soil. Maintain a temperature of 68 to 75°F (20 to 24°C) to promote rapid and uniform germination. When the seedlings develop two pairs of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.
Transplant seedlings into pots or gardens after the last frost, when nighttime temperatures are above 12°C. Place in full sun and space seedlings 30 to 40 cm apart to allow for proper development. Water regularly to maintain even moisture and fertilize once a month with a high-potassium fertilizer to encourage flowering and fruit production.
Harvest red peppers when they reach their optimum size and colour. The 'Redskin' sweet pepper is a perfect option for gardeners looking for a tasty, easy-to-grow variety that is suitable for small spaces.
