      1. Introduction

      Peppers come in many shapes, sizes and colors. From the luscious sweet red bell peppers to the fiery hot Scotch Bonnet chiles to the beautiful lantern shaped Habañero, peppers in all their shapes and forms make a beautiful addition to your garden and kitchen. Peppers are amongst the most popular home-grown crop. Whether you’re looking for something crisp to put in a salad or stir-fry or some extra heat to a pasta or pizza, nothing beats taking a ripened pepper off your plant. Once you have grown your own you will soon realize how tasteless the peppers you buy at the store really are!

      Not only do peppers taste great, but they are also good for you. They are low in calories and contain high sources of vitamin C (a small red pepper will contain more vitamin C than a whole orange) and vitamin A (several times higher than your daily nutritional needs) and several antioxidants including lycopene and para-coumeric acid, so can play a role towards a healthy balanced diet.

      The good news is that peppers are easy to grow. They don’t require a large amount of space, so if you have some space that catches the sun, you will have a perfect growing location. Whether you start growing from pepper seeds or from seedlings, you can soon be enjoying your very own harvest of peppers.

      This complete guide shows you how to have perfectly grown peppers and chiles whether you are a pepper novice or seasoned pepper grower. It shows the best hints and tips for growth and highlights many of the common mistakes people make when growing peppers. It shows you how you can have a great pepper harvest whether you live in sprawling countryside or city apartment. This guide takes you through all the steps required, from preparing your planting spot, choosing the correct variety for your location, the correct way to plant and look after your plants (including what companion plants work great with your pepper plants), through to harvesting your plump ripe peppers.

      Whether you want to grow peppers at home to save some money on your grocery bill, make some money from selling peppers at a farmer’s market, or simply want to taste a truly great tasting pepper or chile, right now is the perfect time to start planning growing your own!

      Always Perfectly Grown guides are compiled by seasoned horticulturists and gardeners. Fed up of watching people make the same mistakes when growing their own crops, these guides were compiled to provide a complete guide to growing fruit and vegetables, so that from now on, all your fruit and vegetables will be Always Perfectly Grown. This is the fourth book in our best-selling series, so look out for our other titles online (Always Perfectly Grown Strawberries; Always Perfectly Grown Tomatoes; Always Perfect Compost). We’d love to hear from you and learn about your growing, so follow us on twitter (@AlwaysPerfectly) and friend us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/APGguides).

      Happy growing!

      2. Pepper Basics

      History and Name

      Peppers are indigenous to South and Central America. They were first brought to Europe in 1493 by Columbus following his second trip to the New World, and spread throughout the world afterwards where they are now one of the most commonly grown domestic vegetables. Due to their hot, spicy taste similar to the peppercorn, a highly prized spice at the time, they were given the name pepper. This name is somewhat misleading, in that the pepper and peppercorn are two totally diverse plants. The origin of the word chile is xilli, from the Mexican Nahuatl language. Throughout the world many different words are used for peppers. In the US we use bell peppers or sweet peppers, whereas in Ireland and Britain they are known simply as peppers, whereas Australians, New Zealanders and Indians call them capsicums, a name originating from its scientific name,
