Hello Everyone in HotPepper Land. I am a newbie to this site and to any chat/forum site on the web. I am growing about 60 pepper plants this year. I have a 1500 square feet garden with all kinds of goodies!! I purchased some pepper plants from AJ in Fort Worth. He was super nice and turned me on to this site. I hope to learn a lot about pepper growing and canning/storing. I bought some bulk soil this year and have had a tough time getting all my plants started. It is only june and we are already seeing temperatures close to 100 degrees. I am only using organic methods of growing. I am not sure where to start with this forum, but I hope to hear from anyone with words of wisdom, especially if you are close to my part of the world!!!! Happy pepper gardening everyone!!
