Today I want talk about how to cultivate pepper 🌶️ from the nursery.

Pepper is a very important spice which is cultivated largely I'm many parts of Nigeria and africa at large. Because of its scarcity in Nigeria currently, pepper 🌶️ has become costly. So it's important for every individual to have at least a little pepper farm perhaps in your backyard or in a small piece of land.

First of all it's important to identify qualify seeds because it is important inoder to achieve quality results and good quality pepper. You can still harvest seeds from quality pepper in the market.
