Last year was my first time growing peppers. I grew several Jalapeno and Habanero plants both indoors and out in the garden. It was a lot of fun, so this year I am going to try some other varieties. Here is my plan for this year.
Overwintered Plants:
4 Jalapeno Early
7 Orange & Red Habaneros
Started January-February 2015:
2 Banana or Corno di Toro (mixed seeds I found from 2011)
3 Bell
2 Cayenne
2 Serrano
1 Cherry Tomato
Starting soon just ordered seeds:
1 Aji Habanero
1 Trinidad Perfume
1 Bishop's Hat
1 Brazillian Starfish
1 Bhut Jolokia
I only have enough windowspace indoors for one of each variety. The rest will go out in the garden when it gets warm or will be given away.
This is my high tech seed starting / overwintering grow setup:
This Serrano seems to be doing the best. I cut the top early so I have 4 main branches growing.
This is my up-potting strategy for the indoor plants. I found these 6" and 8" pots at HomeDepot for $1.67 and $2.67 each. They have built in water trays and are cheap enough that I wont be out much if I give plants away.
