GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Vigorous Yummy Belle was bred in the Czech Republic by a fine family owned seed house that specializes in developing delicious peppers. The compact and productive plants load up early with sweet and crunchy, thick walled fruits that quickly ripen up bright orange for harvesting. You’ll have lots of plump and pretty 3 to 4 inch minis for fresh tasty snacks, to slice into salads, top pizza or enjoy in stir fries. These versatile little sweet peppers are real winners.
STARTING SEEDLINGS
In early spring, start indoors about 2 months before outdoor night temperatures 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 (27-30°C). Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant into 4 inch 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 to 2 1/2 feet apart into rich soil in full sun.
GROWING NOTES
Don’t plant peppers outdoors until night temperatures stay securely 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 pepper plants to support their heavy fruit set.
HARVEST AND USE
Pick the 3 to 4 inch peppers when fully colored up orange. Cut rather than pull them from plants. Enjoy them sliced up raw, sautéed, stir fried, grilled or piled on pizza.

Very productive, beautiful color and excellent sweet flavor. We had an unusually warm summer (USDA5b) but they produced and colored up so early that I'm sure they would have done really well in a typical season. Will definitely plant again. (Only reservation- couldn't find the information regarding their hybrid/open- pollinated status so am still wondering??)
Earlier I commented that my peppers grew yellow peppers. That plant still produces yellow fruit. However, subsequent later plantings of these seeds are producing orange peppers. Same seed packet. The mystery of planting from seeds creates variations, I guess.
These peppers look nice and have grown larger but after three weeks they grow but have no hint of an orange color. They are a light yellow. Maybe they need more time to develop color.
Perhaps half the seeds I planted devoted into seedlings.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. Sometimes peppers slow pigment production during extremely hot weather for survival, but will resume coloring up once temps lower a bit. Hoping you get to enjoy some orange peppers soon! Feel free to reach out!
