Any tips for starting pepper seeds?
I'd like to try planting pepper seeds (sweet banana and jalepeno), and was planning to start from seed in one of those mini-greenhouse deals, then transplanting them after approx. 6-8 weeks. Since I live in a cool mountain climate in Arizona with very poor soil (mostly granite based) and am currently living in a rental house with only a little room for gardening, I thought I might be best off if I plant them in pots (?).
Since I'm a novice gardener and could use all the help I can get, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has any advice on starting pepper seeds! I've heard that it's best to water them from below (but I'm not sure how best to accomplish this), and possibly to keep them warm with a heating pad - has anyone actually tried these methods? Can anyone recommend any better/hardier varieties of peppers to try, given my climate/environment?
It is essential that you keep the soil warm and moist while the pepper seeds are germinating. Ideal temp for sprouting is eighty degrees and if it gets below about sixty they will just lay there and rot. They are harder to start and take longer to sprout than most vegetables so don't give up on them. A plant heating pad is ideal. Watering from below usually means using a soaker hose or flood irrigating as opposed to using a sprinkler. Wet plants can lead to diseases. All of the seed catalogs offer pepper varieties that are short season, maturing in less time than other, larger types. If you start them six to eight weeks before the last frost, you should be able to get lots of peppers, even with a short growing season. Peppers also do pretty well in pots if you use large enough pots to keep them from getting root bound. A three gallon or bigger pot is recommended. You may want to take a look at
gardenhbbies.com or any of the dozens of gardening sites on the web.
