First year growing peppers from seed.

drew51 · March 3, 2014

First thanks to all who gave me advice. Some excellent advice!! I have grown tomatoes from seed, so I know the drill. I probably have more than I'll be able to fit in ground and in pots. But I wanted to try various types. See what peppers work for me. I'm interested in all types. I want plants for ornamental and culinary reasons.
I have these seedlings growing now

Aleppo 36
Black Pearl
BRAZILIAN STARFISH
CONGO TRINIDAD
Criolla De Cocina
Fish
Guajillo
Leutschauer Paprika
Manzano , Orange
Malagueta
Medusa
NuMex Heritage 6-4
NuMex Twilight
Peppadew
Pimenta de Neyde
Santa Fe Grande
Trinidad Perfume
Venezuelan Tiger

I may lose some on the way, but a good start for a first attempt.

I have a few more i want to try and planted a another round. Only a few more.
Needing seed trays for tomatoes and such, almost all of the above are in pots by themselves now. I tranplanted a little early but all look like I didn't move them. Even ones with no true leaves look great. No visible stress.
The above list is from 2 rounds of seedings.
