Keen's 2014 garden and pepper raised beds

this is the first time making a garden in our house we bought last year.   i  have a total of 4 raised beds 1 for all peppers. 
 
last weekend i tilled and leveled the ground, i also put in the first 3 beds.  this weekend i bought more bricks and made the pepper patch out in the big backyard.  
 
heres where im a so far. im putting good soil in the beds monday, the commercial nursurey that sells good dirt is closed weekends. 
 
 
Heres the vegetable gardens.  the little one in the corner is my 4 year olds.  she's got it all planned out what she wants in there.

 
 
here is the bed i'll plant peppers in.  its almost 10ft long.  im thinking 6 plants???

 
i'll post photos after i get some dirt in there too.  i'll probably start my seed starters today and tomorrow with an updated list of everything we are going to grow.

i thought my peppers were looking left out so i hooked them up with their own light.  they got a 13w  6500k  cfl now. i had the reflector left over from previous reptiles. 
 
well, my veggies are starting to TAKE OFF!
 

 
my peppers not so much. still no activity.  i got some more seeds in the mail, thanks to the generous members here.
 
ill post when we hook some peppers.
 
 
 
from what ive read, it takes around 2-4 weeks?

Some come up in 5 days, most for me in 2 weeks, some 3 weeks. But I haven't used a heat mat like a lot who have better germ rates. They say 82-84° is optimum I believe..
 
well, so far i got some jalapenos, brain strain, brown moruga, and naga morich have sprouted.  as for the other peppers, im being patient...  i got high hopes for them.  
 
been a while...  heres a lil update.
 
everything is growing like mad. some of my herbs didnt sprout, and my choc habanero either... but i got a lot of goodies started.








 
i also have some manzano and yellow devil tongue sprouted.
