Corno di Toro Giallo sweet yellow pepper characteristics

When to grow the Corno di Toro Giallo sweet yellow pepper?
The ideal sowing period is from the end of February to May, in pots under a well-lit shelter at between 16 and 20°C. The higher the ambient temperature, the faster the seeds germinate.
- Sow seeds in potting soil;
- Water the seeds with a sprayer and keep the substrate moist;
- Place sweet yellow pepper seedlings indoors under a light source or in a nursery;
- Transplant into individual pots when plants reach the stage of 2 to 4 true leaves. Bury the stem up to the two cotyledons to encourage root development and keep the plants out of the cold;
- For 4 to 7 days before planting in the vegetable garden, take the sweet peppers outside during the day to acclimatize them to the outdoors;
- After 8 to 10 weeks, transplant the whole clump into the soil of the vegetable garden, in full sun, after the last frosts. Sweet peppers thrive in deep, moist, aerated soil;
- Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm between sweet pepper plants, burying the stem up to the first leaves;
- Water plants regularly after planting, without touching leaves or flowers.
Peppers appreciate the presence of basil, carrots, borage and oregano.
