DESCRIPTION

Pleasure to meet you, culinary adventurers! I'm the Shishito Pepper, straight from the gardens of Japan. With my thin skin and mild heat that surprises one in every few, I'm the hit of tapas and appetizers. Slightly twisted and vivid green, I'm often found blistered in a pan with a sprinkle of sea salt. I ask for nothing more than a sunny day and well-drained soil to thrive and bring my unique flavor to your table.

Care Guide

Peppers love the sun and require a good 6 to 8 hours of it. They need well-drained soil that's rich in organic matter, with a pH around 6.2 to 7.0. Regular watering is important, but be careful not to overwater as peppers are sensitive to waterlogging. A slow-release fertilizer applied at the time of planting and a little extra when the fruit sets can go a long way. Stake taller varieties or those with heavy fruit. Watch for pests like aphids and treat them early.

Planting Instructions

Planting 4" potted herbs and vegetables is a straightforward way to enhance your garden. Select varieties like basil, parsley, tomatoes, and lettuce that thrive in your climate. Ensure they're planted in a sunny spot, whether in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground. Carefully remove the plants from their pots, place them in slightly larger holes, and fill in with soil, pressing down lightly. Water thoroughly and maintain consistent soil moisture, preferably watering in the early morning. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, use organic control methods, and remove weeds promptly. Harvest herbs by trimming leaves as needed and pick vegetables at peak ripeness. This approach is ideal for a productive and flavorful garden.
