Chiles
Latin Name
Capsicum annuum
Description
One of the great Native American contributions to the cuisines of the world. A widely used fruit high in Vitamin C, chiles vary in shape, size, color, pungency and flavor. Approx. 25 seeds/packet.
Culture
Start seeds inside 8-10 weeks before last frost. Seeds are slow to germinate and need warmth. Sow 1/4 inch deep in sandy soil. Transplant seedlings 12-16 inches apart.
Seed Saving
The insect-visited flowers can self-pollinate or cross. Grow only one variety at a time, or isolate flowers by covering branches with cloth bags tied loosely at the bottom, or cover plants with cages made from window screen over a frame. Allow pods to ripen and mature on the plant. Chiles turn red or dark brown when mature. For best seed results, pods should be shriveled and almost dry. Wear gloves, and take care not to touch your eyes when removing seeds from hot chiles or chiltepines.
