GreenlyWhen to plant bell pepper in Kansas City
In Kansas City, bell pepper: sow seedlings around 1 February for the greenhouse and around 22 February for open ground; plant into a greenhouse around 16 April; plant out into open ground around 7 May.
Last spring frost around 7 April, first autumn frost around 1 November. Frost-free days: 208 days.
The dates follow the Greenly calendar: open ground a week after the last frost once the soil is warm enough for the crop, frost-hardy crops three weeks before it, an unheated greenhouse three weeks earlier, seedlings sown so they are ready on the day. In a cold year allow a week or two more.
