Care & Harvest: Pick peppers when they are firm and orange. Store them in a cool location for up to three weeks or halve and dry them completely. You can also roast and freeze the peppers or make pickled peppers for longer preservation.

Blossom end rot is caused by calcium deficiency and is minimized by deep watering during the bloom period. Fungal diseases are reduced by limiting overhead watering.
