Peppers(Capsicum frutescens) are large genus of the potato family(Solanaceae), and are cultivated for their edible, and
ornamental qualities.  Native to tropical regions where these shrubby perennials are found naturally growing at heights of
six to eight feet.  In temperate regions peppers are grown as annuals and normally only reach heights of two to three feet.

GROWING PEPPER PLANTS
Pepper plants are by far one of the easiest vegetables to grow.  Peppers grow best in soils that are high to moderate in
organic matter.  In most cases a  bit of compost spread over the entire planting will be enough to keep your pepper
plants happy.  If you cannot get your hands on compost, or like organic matter, using and all purpose fertilizer like fish
emulsifier weekly will be sufficient for a nice harvest.
Keep soils moist, but not overly wet, at all time for better quality fruits.

HARVESTING PEPPER PLANTS
Peppers can be harvested when the outside is firm to touch.  Simply, cut the stem to desired length with pruners or
scissors.  The use of sharp tools is good practice to minimize breakage of main stem and disease.
