It’s that time I figure.  It was a nice day on Sunday so we decided to do a porch activity.  On Sunday, 3/7/10, we planted over 20 varieties of hot peppers and 2 sweet peppers.  They are being housed in a grow space that Erin’s dad gave to us; under florescent grow lights (from Lowes), 70F, 40% and light for 1/2+ the day.  I planed about 3 per variety so that hopefully at least 2 germinate per plant.  That will be a lot of plants; but you have to count for my green thumb to kill some! 🙁  If anyone has some tips, especially for clipping to make more branches/stronger fruits…I’m completely open to all ideas!  If you have any seeds you want to trade for, let me know.

Most seeds are heirloom varieties.  Here is a list of what I planted:
