Man that's a lot of little holes to be filled with dirt and seeds. Not going overboard with your first pepper season are you John? I hope every single plant grows and provides you with all the heat you and your family and your buddies can eat.

Hi Patrick
I started out with this number because i plan on trying my luck at some salsas and sauces plus dehydrating some for powders and personal consumption plus i have some friends who enjoy peppers so i figured this should cover my plans.I also have three friends that have big gardens and they have expressed an interest in planting some peppers so i will be able to give them some to grow so that will leave me with a smaller number of plants to tend too.

I know you said you're a sauce maker, these should give you lots of flavors and heat levels to play with eh? I see you're also sharing the addiction with friends, easiest way to get others into the hobby. Best of luck!
