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.

Instructions -
In early spring, start indoors about 2 months before outdoor night temperatures are reliably in the 50-55°F 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. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant them into 4-inch individual pots. Maintain at 70-75°F. Feed with half-strength fertilizer every 2 weeks until the 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 the 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.
