{"product_id":"pepper-sprinter-f1-organic","title":"Pepper Sprinter F1 Organic","description":"\u003cp\u003eSprinter organic sweet peppers are an excellent choice for high yields of uniform, medium to large bell peppers in both field and protected culture. The clean, blocky fruit ripen from green to a deliciously sweet red. Sprinter's vigorous plant offers good foliage cover and ample architecture to hold fruit without squeezing. Yield is strong, and because Sprinter is not sensitive to blossom end rot or silvering, it provides a high percentage of marketable fruit. Perfect for CSA and other markets that prefer medium-large fruit size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTARTING SEEDLINGS\u003cbr\u003eIn early spring, start indoors about 2 months before outdoor night temps are reliably in the 50-55°F (10-13°C) range. Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in a container of starting mix. Keep moist but not soggy, and very warm, 80-85°F (27-29°C). Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant 2 inches apart into deeper containers or individual pots. Maintain at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Feed with half-strength fertilizer every 2 weeks until weather is warm enough to gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Plant out 2 1\/2 feet apart into rich soil in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGROWING NOTES\u003cbr\u003eDon’t plant peppers outdoors until night temperatures are above 55°F (13°C). Prepare soil with aged manure or compost. Plant only robust seedlings with well-developed roots. Mulch plants to maintain even soil moisture. Stake or cage your plants to help support their heavy fruit set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHARVEST AND USE\u003cbr\u003eReady to pick in late summer, Gourmet Orange peppers start out green and ripen up to rich, bright orange.
