Peppers are very versatile. You can add raw ones to everything from dips and salads to pasta dishes. Some recipes require roasting them or stir-frying for some good color.
When working with hot peppers, remember that they can burn your skin and eyes. Wear rubber gloves while you’re handling them, keep your hands away from your face, and wash your hands as soon as you’re done. Keep a glass of whole or low-fat milk nearby, too.

Harvesting
Water immediately after planting, then regularly throughout the season.
Add fertilizers into the soil as it grows.
Spread mulch (such as chopped leaves or straw) around the plants to help keep the soil cool and moist.
Support each pepper plant with trusses to help bear the weight of the plant once it begins to produce fruits.
Harvest peppers with a knife, then store in the fridge. Be sure to pick all peppers before the first fall frost comes.
