Hot Peppers – Fresh or Dried
Hot Peppers are easy to grow, especially in a long, hot summer. Plant in full sun in containers or in the ground and water as required. As the plant grows, flowers will form which then grow into peppers. Harvest as the peppers ripen. Use fresh in your favourite recipes or dry in a low temperature oven and store for the winter. Always handle, prepare and eat hot peppers with caution!
