What time you hoping to get started / transplant?

i've got month-old sprouts of half of that list under grow lights already, and i just started germinating the second wave yesterday

i didn't initially plan to grow that many varieties, but every time i ordered seed (from four different suppliers) they'd throw in freebies, so what the hell

i hope to be able to transplant by march, we'll see. i'm in houston, so there are good odds on the weather being on my side

I have a plant to grow ALL my peppers in pots, due to the lack of garden space.>>> ALL IN POTS.

The soil to fill them (about 15-20) will be PINE BARK BASED. That means about 50% small pine bark nuggets. Other 50% will be different but will be one or more of the following :

PEAT MOSS, PERLITE, COMMERCIAL POTTING MIX, CCOMPOST.

Germination: I am in the process of shifting into it. My plant out time will come mid April, the earliest. So plenty of time there.

VARIETIES:
HOTS: Habanero, Thai, Korean, Hungarian HW, Manzano, Fresno, Tabasco, Serano

Milld n Sweetst: Chilaca, Gypsy, Cubanelle, Anaheim, pepperoncini, shishito,

PURPOSE:
Basically, I grow peppers mostly as VEGETABLE to be used at any stage, in cooking and salads. For the sauce couple of Habs, Thai, Korean should be enough for my household use.

CURRENTLY:
I have Shishito, Hab, Tabasco going. I just sowed a few more today.

BTW
I did not want to get into my non-pepper plans. That is too long.

10 tomato plants along the fenceline, where the weeds thrive. Early May.

I plan to start germinating Huge Bell, Giant Mexican Rocoto, and Trinidad 7 Pod Brain Strain in the next week or so. I ordered seeds today from pepperlover.com

I probably should get some jalapenos seeds too. Last year I bought a trey from Lowes. they did very well, but the bell peppers turned out to be anaheim. You never know what you are going to get from a big box store.

I will plant them in a raised bed. I am a little concerned though, because I am going to plant them in my smaller bed that doesn't get as much sun as the bigger one. I'm saving the larger bed for okra and tomatoes this year. Unless I get brave enough to till up part of the yard for the okra.

Where you growing?
the 275-300 sf back yard of my condo.
What you growing? How many?
that's a long list. mostly superhots, some superhot crosses, some hab varieties, and a few randoms.
it's gonna be roughly 40 plants total.
Soil, Water, Fertilizer plans?
cheap potting soil mixed with perlite and bone meal
fish fert, MG tomato fert, and this year I wanna try cal mag.
What time you hoping to get started / transplant?
I've already started 29 varieties, and intend to get the rest started this weekend. I live down in sunny FL, my seedlings have been outdoors up until tonight where I finally had to bring them in. the adult plants are still out there.

Pics welcome!
soon

Where you growing? Pots, grow bags, and 1 small in-ground plot. All my peppers will be in pots and grow bags. The small plot is for watermelons.

What you growing? How many?
I'll be doing squash, cukes, watermelons, beans, eggplant, tomatillos, and tomatoes but as far as the peppers:

2x Jalapeno M
2x Datil
2x Cute Stuff Red
2x Hungarian Wax

Ancho San Luis
Fatalii
Cajun Bell
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
Carolina Reaper
Naga Morich
Indian Carbon Bhut
Choc Scotch Bonnet
Trinidad Congo
Trinidad Douglah
Yellow Brain Strain
Thai Hot

At the very least I'll be doing two of the top 4 on the list. Hopefully I'll have the room and containers to do 2 of the others...

Soil, Water, Fertilizer plans?

Soil: I'll be experimenting a little with the container soils. Some will be in 5-1-1 and some will a homemade mix more like commercial potting soil. Trying to keep it organic, which will be tough to do with 5-1-1...

Water: drip lines in the watermelon bed; tap for the containers.

Fertilizer: Probably Dr. Earth veg fert in combination with homemade fish/seaweed emulsion (it rocks owning a cast net near the beach!)

What time you hoping to get started / transplant? Ugg going nuts waiting! lol. I'll be starting germination of the peppers in about a week once I get into my new house. Once those are going, I'll start on the toms, and then everything else.

Funny you should mention Antarctica. We had two ways of -40 C/F (same temp in both C and F) this past week. Spent a few cold nights planning my grow list for 2014.

This year I'm trying to catch up with a bunch of varieties in my inventory I haven't gotten around to growing. Some seed is pretty old so I don't expect to have as many varieties listed below when germination is done. If everything germinates, it was nice knowing you, my GF will kill me!

Starting in the next couple of days. I'll be out of town for two weeks but a friend (fellow grower) will be watching them for me.

Bill

p.s. I'll be saving seeds from any successful grows so If anyone sees anything in my planned list that interests them let me know.

Bill, that is some impressive list there : over 50 . Good luck and have a good 2014 season.
My list is about 12 varieties. I am also shifting into germination mood. This is going to be my first time to get into peppers. I usually grow no more than 5 varieties.

Talking about cold ( -40C = -40F), and 17 hours of nights.

Will plant in wooden pots on deck.
aji amarillo, keriting, santa fe grande, golden treasure, and two tomato varieties.
MG potting soil, MG fertilizer every two weeks.
Start seeds in March, transplant in mid=May.
I use tomatoes and sweet peppers for fresh eating and the hot peppers are dried and ground into powder.
