These thick-walled peppers have a slightly spicy sweetness with a rich, aromatic flavor that makes them perfect for fresh eating, roasting, stuffing, and especially pickling. Pimentos are famously used to make pimento cheese and to stuff olives, and the name “pimento” comes from the Spanish word for pepper. This variety grows well in garden beds or containers, prefers full sun, and has moderate water needs. Harvest green for a milder flavor or allow them to fully ripen to red for maximum sweetness and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots\/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow me on social media because I talk a lot about the same seed varieties I sell here in my shop and gardening tips.
