(capsicum annum)
Pimentos de Padron Pepper- Named after the town where they originated. Harvest Padron peppers when they are one and one half inches long. About 1 out of 5 fruits will be hot, and the rest mild. All the fruits become hot if allowed to grow 2-3" long. Padrons are served sauteed in olive oil with a little sea salt, and eaten as tapas (appetizer) in Spain. Great with a cold beer!

Cultural Requirements:
I try to grow all plants organically or hydroponically whenever possible. I do not use chemical pesticides and prefer organic pest control and the use of predatory insects.
