Growing peppers in containers

robrpb · March 4, 2011

I would like to grow Lipstick peppers in a container. I was wondering if I could use the same mix for tomatoes 3:2:1 that I have been reading about on this forum for tomatoes or is something else recommended.

I plan to use a rectangular container about 24"x15" and 14" deep. Would this work?

Since I live in southeast Florida and it is already warm here can I just plant the seeds in the container or do I need to start them in smaller containers with a starter mix.

Also, I would like to grow shallots in containers, would the answers to the above questions be true for the shallots as well?

Any other suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rob
