Hi! I'm trying to grow peppers for the first time in Boise, ID. I started seeds from Italian long hots and cherry peppers in the last week of February and they're looking great. Soon, it will be time to transplant. I have never had good luck growing anything since I lack direct sunlight and live in an older apartment with leaky single pane windows so the average indoor winter temperature is probably around 55. This year, I got serious and bought two grow lights and heat mats. I started with a tray with room to plant 48 seeds, planted about that many, and got 32 plants! I've given away quite a few but I'm left with a pretty good number for myself. I joined the forum because, given my history, I have a million questions about how to keep these little guys alive. It's nice to meet everyone!
