Many different types of peppers can be grown in Missouri vegetable gardens. Among the most popular are the sweet bell and banana types. This warm season vegetable should not be planted in the garden until there’s no danger of frost. Peppers are normally harvested in the immature green stage for use in relishes, salads, for stuffing, and for flavor in many cooked dishes.
Today’s guest is David Trinklein, horticulture specialist for University of Missouri Extension.
