my peppers go to their final location in the garden in late April/early May. I grow them in cold frames.

I start my peppers seeds in January and transplant into individual pots in early March. This is when I start taking them out into a cold frame for a day to enjoy some natural light. They grow very slowly in my unheated laundry room, so I have to start them so early.

C. Chinense peppers grow very slowly and like lots of warmth which we are lacking here in PNW. So every second year I have to bring the potted plants inside the house to overwinter, and they continue to grow and produce happily the next year. Even when I start them in January, they may not mature in one season, depending on the year and the variety.
