Hi everyone! I'm new to the group, and well, new to Google groups. I'm having a lot of fun, finding that these groups are very imformative and easy to use.
I am starting a Bell Pepper patch for this year's garden. I've started the seeds indoors (Karma - Red, Golden Summer - Yellow, Valencia (Orange) and Peppper Parks Whopper), but I don't have much expereince in caring for the plants once they get planted outside. Can anyone point me to a good website with some good 'growing' and 'care for' instructions? I'm mostly looking for watering, fertilizing, and staking tips and just over all 'caring for the plant' tips.
Also, is anyone famillar with the Karma Red Bell Pepper? I live in the mid-west... What kind of a yield can I expect to see from one plant and is this the best kind of Red bell to grow or is there a better kind? I've listed the four varieties that I'm growing (Red, Yellow, Orange and Green). It's not too late for me to start different kinds -- are the the best varieties of bells to grow?
Thanks!!
