Eight weeks before the last expected frost, sow your seeds indoors at a depth of 1/4 inch and maintain the room temperature at 25–30 °C (60–65°F). Provide them with supplemental light to prevent the plants from becoming leggy. When all danger of frost has passed, acclimate your plants for a few days and plant them in the garden at a distance of 12 to 16 inches from each other. Pepper plants appreciate rich, moist, and weed-free soil; provide them with mulch to help with better control.
