I'm going to start my hot peppers the last week in January/first week in February when all the supplies are organized. Tomatoes I usually start the first or second week in March.

Last year the weather was w-a-y too cold to plant until the end of May, so the plants got a bit leggy.

Don't have a heat mat, so I use an old electric blanket that works just fine.

Many of the hot peppers may take weeks to germinate so don't get discouraged.

Best of luck!
