Bell Pepper YOLO

Yolo Wonder is a sweet bell pepper with mild flavor and crisp juicy flesh. It's large with thick skin and will turn from dark green to bright red when mature. Easy to grow and a good choice for new gardeners.

Pepper seeds can be started indoors.

Start seeds inside 8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/2" deep in pots with growing mix and place on a warm seedling mat or in a warm area that is 70 to 85 degrees with bright light. Peppers are similar to tomatoes and require relatively warm temperatures to germinate and grow quickly. Fertilize every 2 weeks. After 8 weeks, when the outdoor garden soil has warmed, harden off the seedlings and plant them 16" apart in full sun.

Yolo Wonder produces large 4-5" peppers that grow from the branches and hang down. The 2' tall plant may require staking or a cage for support. It's best to put the support in place when the plants are first transplanted so the roots will not be damaged later.

When watering soak the soil to a depth of at least 6" so the soil stays moist but never soggy. Mulching can help to provide uniform moisture, conserve water, and reduce weeds.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
