[Edit: I'm assuming you're referencing a study that made the social media rounds about a year ago. If not, the rest of my post isn't on...

    seeds Soil temp for germination: how hot is too hot?

    In truth, I've rarely had issues with peppers germinating in my jiffy peat pods. But, I read online that superhots can be finicky, and I was thinking it would come in handy for earlier germination next year, so I thought I'd try it. Oh well! Good to know the top of my freezer can be a plan B or...

    seeds Soil temp for germination: how hot is too hot?

    I've continued monitoring, and it's staying in the 80-82F range. Dunno what that initial spike was about, but I'll be vigilant. Thanks for your guidance!

    Hello from Atlanta, Georgia

    Phil, we have oak and dogwood trees that are more than happy to provide insulation (dead leaves) in winter and partial shade in summer. It doesn't thrive, but it does ok.

    Hi everybody! Just a grower from OTP Atlanta. 2013 will be my third year growing peppers, my second year in Georgia. I'm a CA native and started growing there. I enjoy growing all kinds of vegetables, but the nightshades take up most of my plot, with a special emphasis on hot peppers. Tomatoes...
