Germ 10-14 days
A reliable and heavy yielding pepper for northern gardens that was developed at the University of Wisconsin in the 60’s. This variety has thick, juicy and sweet walls with the fruit growing to 4-6 oz and 4-5” in height. 20 seeds

PLANTING:

Indoors - Start 8-10 weeks before last frost, 1/4" deep with soil temperatures 70-80 degrees. Liquid fertilize seedlings every 7-10 days. Transplant 18" apart when danger of frost has passed and when soil is 65 degrees

Harvest - Using a sharp instrument, pick first fruits when they reach usable size, this helps accelerate the growth of the other peppers on the plant. Leave some on to mature, in color and sweeten up.

Tips - Plant in fertile, well composted soil, mulch and provide adequate water. It helps to use row cover early in the season giving the plants extra warmth, especially in the north. Side dress when flowers begin to form.

I haven't started this year's

I haven't started this year's seeds indoors yet, maybe in a week or 2, living in WI and all , but last year the crop was very good. Since my garden is in a part shade situation and a shorter garden season than in some areas, I appreciate it maturing earlier than some other varieties, and especially turning red before the season ends.

all is well

Fine - all the seeds arrived as expected and in good order. Of course, the real proof in the pudding will be if they grow well. But, as in past years, there's no reason to expect otherwise.

Can not go wrong with this one

I am a pepper lover, heirlooms, hybrids, you name it. Wisconsin Lakes just is up there on the top of the list for being productive. I gave my daughter two plants for her self watering container bed. Those plants never stopped, They were sick of red and green peppers by fall, almost. Think we are growing them again this year.

A Standard

This has been a standard in my garden for decades. I've experimented with many sweet peppers but I keep coming back to Wisconsin Lakes as my go to pepper because of its consistent production. This is very similar to California Wonder.
