I'm germinating them on paper towels and was super careful not to touch seeds, just shaking them from little the little bags onto the paper towels. Even with that, there must have been some of the residue on the packaging... I just rubbed my eye.... yikes!
Ordering gloves on Amazon now. Is there any issue handling seedlings or plants. I can't imagine there is, but clearly you can't be too careful. Quote:

I started the following in individual cells of jiffy mix, heat mat set at 85. First number is number of floaters, second sinkers. First time keeping track of germination rates using this method. Planted them all, Craig's dense planting method.
I also started saved seed from a farmers market bell pepper that I've been growing for several years. - Lisa Last edited by greenthumbomaha; February 18, 2019 at 06:13 PM. |

Peppers are a bit slow to germinate in my small greenhouse with a space heater and a few heating mats-lots of cool rainy days this year.

I started my chinenese peppers in December, and this is how big they are now. Will pot them up to 1 gallon containers before translating outside. These varieties are Espiritu Santo Red and Freeport Orange. I also have Congo Trinidad, and Peruvian Red Rocoto growing. Peruvian Red Rocoto is one I can grow here in our humid weather, cannot grow the Manzano's.

My Aji Amarillo were really tall as seedling too. Had to use chopsticks to help keep them upright. I think that's just the nature of them. |

Looking good, Miss Linda! Just an update on some of the seeds you sent me:
Criolla de Cocina germinated 4/6. Already potted up. Onza Rojo germinated 5/6, and they just JUMPED out of the dirt! Thanks again!

Eleven days to pepper and eggplant seeding time! I wish I could start them earlier but alas, there's no room for a lot of shifted up gallon pots in the house. But since they won't be going into the ground until end of April, there will be room out on the front porch for shifted up and hardening off peppers.
Growing this year, one of each except for 2 Gypsys: Alma Paprika Ancho Grande Big Jim Anaheim Feher Ozone Paprika Gypsy Jalapeno M Jupiter Keystone Resistant III Mucho Nacho Sweet Banana (a freebie) For years I had trouble growing bells. Then I read they don't like the heat here and I'd have better success with the longer, cubanelle or frying types. True! However hope springs eternal (like me and beets) and last year I tried the Jupiter and Keystone Resistant III seed that was given to me. Both bells are bred for heat resistance. Success! It didn't hurt that they had shade part of the day. There are two other adjacent bads with that part shade so I will rotate the peppers among those three beds going forward. |

Indeed, the nature of those plants. Many aji varities are that way, the Amarillo could easily hit 5-6 ft. Perfect candidate for topping, I topped my Amarillo and sugar rush and they have put out a ton of new growth. Ill try to post pics later.

That is interesting, both the same species ( Capsicum pubescens) just different cultivators. Most all Pubescens require cooler temps and even some light shade in order to flourish. They do not like hot and dry. They also winter over extremely well because of the preference for cooler temps.

I missed that point on Jupiter and heat. Jupiter is smaller than the giant hybrids but worth trying again and watching for this trait when the the temp warms up. The Keystone Resistant III is new this year in one of the light green colored package dime seeds at Menards hardware store if you live near one. Should have splurged, and I'm not going back to buy it with a blizzard warning ahead. Hope it does well for you again. - Lisa |
