Awesome. That's great to know. Our temps have been 100, but if you're watering every 4 days, I will at least start every 3 days. Thanks to everyone for the input!

Basically nothing. My thought was to see how they did this season, and if they don't recover, I'd mix the potting soil with some regular soil and replant them. Since this is my first real year growing peppers, I wanted to take the chance to learn so I'll try watering only when the leaves get...

I took this picture literally right after I watered them this morning so they are very wet, but for clarification, how dry should they get? I've put my finger into the soil two knuckles deep before and the soil was cool, but barely damp. How do I know when to water? I put a teaspoon of...

I've been struggling to grow several types of peppers for the last 3 months. I started the seeds indoors but they have done nothing but struggle since being put outdoors. Last year at this time, my pepper plants had grown a fair amount and were starting to produce peppers. Now that I've taken to...

I'm still having problems with my plants. They've been out in the sun for 2 or 3 weeks, the temperatures are 100 degrees outside, and I'm watering about every other day. The plants are still no more than 2 inches across and leaves seem to do ok and then the largest leaves (only 1" long) yellow...

So I've been putting my finger in the tops of the pots down to the second nuckle and I'm not quite sure what I'm feeling for. It's definitely not wet, but I wouldn't say it's dry either. What level of dryness or wet does one look for? Each plant has put out its second set of sun adjusted leaves...

I've got my first batch of pepper plants finally planted in pots out in my yard. I've spent the last few days letting them sit in partial shade, partial sun. They've lost their indoor leaves and have grown new sun friendly outdoor leaves. The temps have been between 90-100 degrees and the are...

I would like some as well. Thanks!

Sounds like fun. :-) PM Sent.

I'm just hitting the pepper growing scene and am looking to get a small variety of seeds/plants to start growing and learning. Most packs include 20-30 of each kind of seed but I have no plans to grow that many plants this season. I'd love to grow 10 different peppers, 1-2 plants of each kind...

I decided in the last few days that I really want to start growing peppers this year, but have struggled to pick what to grow and figure out how to grow it in the desert with hard clay soils. I'd love to find a small variety to grow. Any suggestions?
