False Alarm Peppers

Browsing the Burpee Seed catalog was the best part of this winter. We wanted to choose a tasty and ornamental pepper plant that we could grow in a pot on our porch. We came across the "False Alarm Pepper," and it seemed to be a perfect fit. This little plant will have a heavy yeild of firey red, but only mildy spicy peppers. We started the peppers from seeds on March 1st, March 13th, and April 2nd. Because peppers need extremely warm temperatures, these little plants may end up living indoors for most of the summer. It's a good thing that they're well suited for container gardening, but we might attempt to throw a few in as borders to our flower garden.
