| Chile Introduction | Cultivation Instructions | Seed Saving Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| One of the great Native American contributions to the cuisines of the world. Domesticated chiles vary profoundly in shape, size, color, pungency and flavor. | Start seeds inside, 1/4" deep in sandy soil, 8-10 weeks before last frost. To improve germination: soak seeds 24 hrs in 1c. water w/1 drop vinegar. Seeds are slow to sprout and need warmth. Transplant seedlings 12-16" apart. Partial shade is best in low desert, full sun in cooler climates. Provide support. | The insect-visited flowers can self-pollinate or cross. Grow only one variety at a time or isolate flowers. Allow fruit to ripen and mature on the plant. Chiles turn red or dark brown when mature. Wash hands WELL after handling. |
