I am getting ready to plant more Peppers. Both "Orange" in color. Burpee Tangerine Dream
The look is hot but the flavor is not! Yes, it's a gorgeous little bush studded all over with shiny red-orange rockets-too pretty to hide away among rows of vegetables. But it's very tasty too, with a hint of heat. The 3" fruit are sweet and delicious, either pickled or on salad platters. Height 18".
Parks Just Sweet So sweet it's practically candy! A delicious super sweet pepper that has the best flavor when it turns from green to orange. This pepper has a crisp bite with a beautiful color and great texture. Great for salads, stuffed pepper bites, or any snack sized recipe!
Machine: Bounty Vendor: Burpee and Park Sponge: Park Nutes: AG Nutes with Mooch to follow

They do but thankfully I have other projects in progress. Plus now I have my Habas grown and waiting to change colors while the others are just starting.

This morning. Both seeds in the Just Sweet are over the label. The second seed of the Tangerine Dream is almost at the top of the sponge.

I was looking at the Park ones the other day, while I was also looking at strawberry seeds.
I love those little sweet peppers. I have some Baby Belle Mini’s from Renee’s Garden seeds, I have yet to plant. Can’t wait to see yours grow!

I'd wait at least 10 more days. They are still pretty short. If I remember correctly, both are fairly bushy. I don't think you'll need to.

That's awfully young for buds. Yes, I'd remove the buds for at least another two weeks to keep the energy of the plant keep going into building stronger branches.

Thank you Mike. I also thought it was early but hey what do I know LOL. I cut them off and will trim any others out for the next 2 weeks.
Thanks again!

I know I've grown both of these. I'm pretty sure they were both about 18" in height. You should be starting the Mooch about now. Those plants have sturdy bases so they may start growing pretty quickly.

Unless they start shooting towards the lights after you add the Mooch, I wouldn't bother. These plants look like they will be 12" to 16" in height, as things are now.
