Anaheim chili peppers are a mild type of chili pepper that is popular in Southwestern cuisine. They are relatively easy to grow and can be grown in both containers and in the ground.

To grow Anaheim chili peppers from seed:

  1. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  2. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist seed starting mix.
  3. Place seeds in a warm, sunny location and keep moist.
  4. Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
  5. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.
  6. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting them outdoors

To transplant Anaheim chili peppers outdoors:

  1. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
  2. Amend the soil with compost or manure.
  3. Space plants 18-24 inches apart.
  4. Water plants deeply at transplanting.

To care for Anaheim chili pepper plants:

  • Water plants regularly, especially during hot weather.
  • Fertilize plants every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Harvest peppers when they are ripe, which is usually 70-85 days after transplanting.

Pests and diseases:

Anaheim chili pepper plants are susceptible to a number of pests and diseases, including aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and fungal diseases. Inspect your plants regularly for signs of pests and diseases and take appropriate action if necessary.

Harvesting and storage:

Anaheim chili peppers can be harvested when they are green or red. Ripe peppers will be more flavorful and have a higher heat level. To harvest peppers, simply cut them from the plant with a sharp knife.

Anaheim chili peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. They can also be dried or frozen for longer storage.

Uses for Anaheim chili peppers:

Anaheim chili peppers can be used in a variety of dishes, including chili, salsa, burritos, and tacos. They can also be pickled or dried.

Tips for growing Anaheim chili peppers:

  • Anaheim chili pepper plants need full sun to produce the best yields.
  • Anaheim chili pepper plants prefer warm weather. They will not tolerate temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Anaheim chili pepper plants need well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, you can improve drainage by adding sand or compost.
  • Anaheim chili pepper plants are heavy feeders. Fertilize them every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Anaheim chili pepper plants are susceptible to blossom end rot. This is a calcium deficiency that can be caused by irregular watering or by a lack of calcium in the soil. To prevent blossom end rot, water your plants regularly and fertilize them with a fertilizer that contains calcium.
