Choosing Your Chilli

Start with easy-to-grow varieties like Jalapeño or Cayenne.

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost.

Use a well-draining seed starting mix.

Keep soil moist and warm (25-30°C).

Harvest when peppers reach their full color.

Cut the stem with scissors to avoid damaging the plant.
