Pepper Greek - Pepperochini
The Pepper Chile Pepperoncini Greek, 'Capsicum annuum', is the essential pickled pepper in Greek salads and antipasto platters. The flavorful golden pepper is the classic garnish for deli sandwiches, salads and pizza. It is usually picked and pickled in the yellow stage. The Pepperoncini Greek Chile pepper holds its color and flavor well when processed. This pepper plant is very productive. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when peppers are yellow and 3 to 4 inches long. ... additional info
