My first attempt to grow Hot Peppers...

Dork Fish · February 26, 2013

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to document my progress for growing Hot Peppers. This is my first attempt and would love to get some feedback..

I am in zone 5 (IL). I have decided to plant in containers instead of in-ground. I am going to use the black 5 gallon plastics bags. I think they are like .89¢ a piece. What i haven't decided is what growing material to use.

I will be using a Burpee seed starter kit...

I just ordered two heat mats this morning. While i wait for those to be delivered, i decided to go ahead and prepare the growing pellets...

added filtered water...

I not sure if its just me but this pellets look better than the Jiffy ones...

So far i have...
Pepperoncini
Anaheim Chili
Hot Lemon
Hungarian Wax
still looking for a couple others
going to through in some sweet also

more to come...
