If you’re a pepper geek like me, you start to anticipate the homegrown pepper harvest as soon as the seedlings are planted in the garden. Pepper plants start off slow and you may wonder how to make peppers grow faster so that you can start picking hot and sweet peppers as soon as possible. In this article you’ll get tips on encouraging quick growth from your pepper plants as well as an early harvest.
Why it’s important to know how to make peppers grow fasterWhether you live in a region with short seasons like me or one with long hot summers, you’ll want to maximize the homegrown pepper harvest. Providing ideal growing conditions and proper care is the best way to ensure healthy, vigorous plants that yield plenty of peppers. Using these below strategies when growing both sweet and hot peppers can help prevent stress to the plants which could impact the timing of the harvest.
How to make peppers grow faster: 12 proven strategies 1) Pick early maturing varietiesOf all the tricks for making peppers grow faster, the most effective is to select early maturing hot and sweet varieties. My favorites include Pot-a-Peno, Early Jalapeño, Ace, and Gypsy. This gives me a huge head start on the harvest, which used to begin for me in early September, but now starts in late July. To pick the earliest maturing varieties read seed catalogs carefully to learn the ‘days to maturity’. For example, the first fruits from Early Jalapeno are ready to pick just 60 days from transplanting. For Ace, an extra-early sweet bell pepper, the green fruits are ready 50 days from transplanting or fully red ripe 70 days from transplanting.

Has this ever happened to you? You purchase a gorgeous hanging basket overflowing with colorful blooms in late May, only to find that come midsummer it’s looking a bit... droopy and sad, with far too many leaves and not enough flowers? There are many reasons why a hanging basket might not be performing as well as it did earlier in the season, as they have several needs that should be met on a consistent basis. Typically, hanging baskets are made up of annuals or tender perennials. In the confines of such small containers as hanging baskets, these plants are much more demanding than they would be in a larger container or in the ground. But never fear: as long as you provide them with the right amount of sunlight, water, fertilizer, and pruning in the form of deadheading and pinching, you have the greatest chance possible to keep your basket a blooming powerhouse until the first frost. But first, you have to start with the most ideal plant material possible.
Gardens are abuzz and harvest baskets are full. Here’s how to soak up the last of the season while prepping for the next.

On a national scale, the current status of the housing market has forced a lot of people—buyers and real estate professionals alike—to get more creative.
