Starting the garden looks like a good start!
Did you start last years ghost peppers from seeds? That's one I want to plant this year. That pepper institute said that it can take up to 36-80 days to germinate and then up to 160 to produce pods. Is that how long yours took?
I'll have an earth box dedicated exclusively for peppers this year.
Its hard to say man. Last year I planted all my pepper seeds on Jan 1. Then it was so danged cold in Jan/Feb I had a helluva time keeping them warm enough to germinate. My peppers that did germinate I had to keep floro lights going on my back porch till it warmed up enough to move them outside. Not one of my ghost peppers germinated from the first planting. Zero. I ordered more thru one of the sites and all of them came up, but are very slow to grow. Once fall came around they produced well until I battled a fungus and it killed a lot of my pepper plants. I picked the last ghost pepper just the other day before I cut the plant back(only one surviving).
I am doing some things different this year. I hope to have better survival rate
I just moved my seed tray inside and placed under floro lights. Will keep them there for a while till they are bigger and can get them outside
just got back from sams club. green bell peppers 1$ each. guess I'll try planting some of those. do you test the ph of your soil? to see if it really needs lime?
Didn't do a test, but as much composted horse and chicken manure as I tilled in, a couple pounds of lime will not hurt anything. I have no trouble growing anything in this bed at all
