PEPPERS & SWEET POTATOES Biggie Chile™ Hybrid
68 Day. Hot. Variety Sahuaro. Most gardeners wouldn’t change a thing about Big Chile II except its tendency to scald from sparse leaf cover. Now
there's Biggie Chile™, bred to be the perfect solution, with stronger plants that offer better sun protection for higher quality yields. All the other same great qual- ities as Big Chile II – early maturity, huge yields, impressive, thick-walled fruits up to 9" long, and a mild rating of 500 Scovilles on average.

Sweet Potato Sampler
A sampling of our easiest to grow varieties: 4 plants each of Centennial, Porto Rico, Beauregard & Vardaman.
#04748 (X) 16 plants for $21.95 Sweet Potato Assortment SWEET POTATO CULTURE
After all danger of frost, when the soil is warm, plant in rows 2-3' apart, spacing the plants 15" apart. Grows best in well-drained, sandy soil. Harvest after the first frost (avoid bruising the sweet potatoes). Store at 55-60°F. In our trial gardens, we use black plastic to get a jump on the season. Create 16-20" wide raised beds and cover with black plastic, hilling earth over the edges to secure them. Cut an ‘X’ in the plastic every 15", in a diamond pattern to make best use of the wide row. As you plant, make certain the roots are pressed firmly into the soil for good root-soil contact, and water with Organic Fish Fertilizer on page 50.
