Growing Information
Growing Big Bertha Hybrid Bell Pepper
‘Big Bertha’ is a hybrid sweet bell pepper prized for its extra-large fruits, heavy yields, and elongated shape. Smooth, four-lobed peppers develop on vigorous plants and mature from medium green to bright red.
Start ‘Big Bertha’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 24 to 36 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well during warm summer weather.
Ready to harvest in about 70 days, pick peppers green or allow them to mature to red for additional sweetness and color.
Large, sweet, and meaty, ‘Big Bertha’ is excellent for stuffing, fresh eating, slicing, grilling, and everyday cooking.

This is my first year growing Big Bertha peppers, and I must say that so far, I am pleased. It is early-mid August here in Zone 6 and it looks like some of the peppers are just starting to turn color. I include a couple pics for your viewing pleasure.
