We set bamboo poles along the growing beds and string wire and twine for support. All of the bamboo is cut from some location on the farm, we have lots! The peppers will produce fruit for 16 weeks before they are pulled and replanted. One plant can produce anywhere from 50 - 125 peppers. One manzana with 9,300 plants will produce about 697,500 peppers.


Green peppers at about 6 weeks old. We are now buying the starter plants that are 4-6 weeks old from a grower. They costs us about 8 cents. Much cheaper that starting our own. It takes a sweet pepper 12 weeks total growing time before we start harvesting peppers.
