A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
Does Vermont have a long enough growing season for red peppers? The green bell type are no problem. How about okra?
We are very doubtful about growing red bell peppers in Vermont. If they're planted in a sheltered valley, if spring comes early, if the summer is hot, hot, hot--then maybe. We don't advise growing okra either. This plant requires a warm soil and climate, which is why it is associated with the South.
