HOW TO GROW PEPPER SEEDS
- wear gloves
- Always wash your hands even after you take your gloves off
- Have some lime juice to dump on your hands if they are burning as it's said to relieve the burning
- Never rub any sensitive area like your eyes and so forth.
- before you take your gloves off besure you are completely finished at what you are doing
- sometimes double up on your gloves as the burn can still find its way in at times
Sow seeds indoors about ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until the soil is warm.
Pepper varieties come from tropical humid regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Organic Seed Starting Material for best germination results.
We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2’’ thick layer of compost.
