Tibetan Chili Peppers are a culinary gem for those who enjoy heat and flavor. Their bright red pods not only look appealing but also enhance any dish with their spice.

Whether used in marinades or salsas, these versatile peppers can be enjoyed fresh or dried, bringing the bold taste of the Himalayas to your kitchen year-round.
Instructions
Start sowing pepper seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Peppers require a long growing season, so starting them indoors gives them a head start. Use seed trays or small pots with drainage holes. Fill them with a high-quality seed-starting mix, which is typically lighter than standard potting soil and retains moisture well. Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep. Place one to two seeds per cell or pot, covering them lightly with soil. Firm the soil gently to ensure good contact with the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to mist the surface, which helps avoid disturbing the seeds. Transplant to warmest location in your garden after second set of true leaves appear. Apply mulch to save water and keep the roots cool for best results.
