Notes
Capsicum Chocolate (Capsicum annuum) High in minerals and vitamins A and C. Known in tropical America from ancient times. In southern areas seeds can be started indoors and transplanted as an annual or plant as for tomatoes after last frost, in warmer areas can grow as a perennial. Likes sunny position with well drained soil, add lime for near neutral pH. Keep seed moist. Delicious green ripens to dark chocolate skin and brown-red inside thick flesh, good in southern areas.
