Sweet Pepper, Pusztagold (Organic)
Capsicum annuum. 65 days yellow to 85 days red.
Pusztagold is an early maturing, high yielding sweet pepper that starts as a creamy shade of yellow when under-ripe and matures to a bright orange-red, giving a nice color spectrum on both the plant and the plate. Fruit have a sweet, bright flavor at all stages of maturity, becoming even sweeter as they ripen to red. Hungarian peppers of this type lack the harsh bite that is so common with modern green bell peppers, making them great for snacking or adding raw to salads. Tapered bell shape is good for stuffing, with 2”-3” wide shoulders that narrow a bit towards the blossom end. Hungarian peppers are widely acknowledged to be among the best in the world; this excellent variety has thick flesh and thin skin.

Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots when they have their first two true leaves. Transplant out into the garden after danger of frost has passed, typically late May in western Oregon.
Seed Saving
To save seed, wait until fruit is fully ripe. Remove seeds from fruit and dry. Isolate from other pepper varieties of the same species by at least 500 feet.
