Pepper - Chile - Cayenne Red The pencil-thin Cayenne peppers are used fresh in hot sauces and chilies, died or ground for cayenne pepper or pepper flakes, as a flavor in oil and vinegar, and as a decoration. The plants are decorative garden plant with what seems like hundreds of peppers on each plant. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. The Pepper Chili Cayenne Red Long Thin 'Capsicum annuum', is an excellent hot flavoring for chili, other hot foods. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Use gloves and do not touch any other part of the body after harvesting. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. A string of dried cayenne is an very attractive decoration. |
