Hot Peppers - Cayenne Long Slim
Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. The Hot Pepper Cayenne Long Slim, 'Capsicum annuum', produces dark green, long fruit maturing to red. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. The fruits are slim, pointed and wrinkled. Wash your hands immediately. Their intense flavor adds zest to sauces, salads, soups, stews, dips and dried seasonings. The Long Slim Pepper plant is a strong, spreading plant, 20-24 inches tall. 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. It is great for processing and drying. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. ... get more information
