There's never been a better time to grow your own sweet peppers at home, and organic bell peppers aren't difficult to grow from seed. Since organic bell peppers are slow to germinate, they do best started indoors rather than direct sown in the garden. Seed three pepper plants per cell or pot, and thin down to two seedlings that will be transplanted out as one.

Wait to transplant organic pepper seeds until the soil has warmed up to at least 65 degrees, typically a few weeks after your area's last frost date. Be sure to harden off the pepper seedlings by introducing them to outdoor temperatures and direct sunlight before transplanting them in the garden, placing each pair at least eighteen inches apart.

Choose a planting site for your organic pepper seedlings that receives full sun, at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Mulch the base of the plants to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

If you're tired of bland, storebought sweet peppers you're not alone. Forgo overpriced bell peppers and grow your own for a fraction of the price—without sacrificing flavor. Organic sweet pepper seeds are slow to germinate, so order you seeds today for fresh stuffed peppers this summer! For planting instruction, refer to our Pepper Seeds Planting Guide.
