Here are some short tips for seeding Yellow Asti Square Pepper seeds:

Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors once the soil has warmed up (70°F or 21°C+).
-
Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Amend soil with compost to improve fertility.
-
Sowing Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and space them about 1-2 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they are big enough to handle.

Temperature: Peppers need warm conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
-
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during germination and early growth. Water deeply once plants are established.
-
Sunlight: Plant in a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
-
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
-
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost when planting. Once the plants start fruiting, switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage fruit development.
-
Pest Control: Keep an eye out for aphids, spider mites, and aphids. Use organic methods like neem oil if needed.
-
Harvesting: Harvest when peppers are fully yellow and firm, usually 75-90 days after transplanting.
Happy growing!
