Pepper - Sweet - Marconi Gold
The Marconi Golden is a traditional Italian sweet pepper. The Italian Marconi turns from green to yellow and either color is very tasty. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. The Pepper Sweet Italian Marconi Golden, 'Capsicum annuum', is a pepper that many believe is more flavorful and is superior to traditional bell peppers. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. The Golden Marconis are particularly good fried or roasted, something done quite frequently in Italy. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. These peppers grow about 1 foot long by 3 inches wide. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. ... additional information
