Anne, we seem to be at about the same juncture with our plants. I have about 35 in the ground and about 8-10 in containers. I still have room for 5-8 more in ground. I've seen whiteflies on the plants but no signs of tylcv. I continue to spray moderately with BugbGone Max.

I have given away over 100 seedlings so far and have about 30 backups still under the lights at about 3" tall

Last week I fertilized 10-15 plants that have the yellow flowers. With that and all the rain we've got, these plants are about 2' tall now.

My potted hot peppers began real well, spreading out foilage and developing many flowers but the large amount of new, small leaves (with buds) seem to be curling and affecting the overall performance of the plant. Not sure what's causing this.
