My peppers so far for 2014

newatthiskat · December 18, 2013

I have planted out some of the hots and super hots a few weeks back. I know the super hots can take up to 3 months to germinate. I made the mistake of planting them the day before the winter storm hit and finding out the fireplace in our new renal house does not work. My plan was to put them near fireplace for heat. We do not like the heater on at night due to sinus issues.

I would like to publicly thanks those hot pepper and sweet pepper seed traders and givers. I just checked my containers that I had recycled and just sat on the dryer with a towel under and very rarely a regular small heating pad.
I have just witnessed that a few of the MOA Scotch bonets are up as well as a couple Congo Trinidad and chocolate congo habs. I can not believe it as cold as it has been and how fast they have shown up! No sign yet from the ghost peppers (2 varieites and sorces). I am not freaked out. Fully expected that. Weather is going to be good here next few days so out they go. I guess I had better get on the ball and round up stuff to plant them up sooner than expected. I know for a fact the soil has not reached 80 degrees and at times it has been 58 in the house when we woke up. Guess it is time to plant another round of hot peppers soon!

I can not believe they are showing up so soon though due to cold
