This is my first full year growing in the Boise area. Last season turned out mediocre at best. Hopefully, I learned my lessons about the weather and soil differences and make the correct adjustments.
Here's the first 4 trays to germinate (72 plants). These are under a 4 bulb T5s. I've got another tray under the desk, and another 72+ in the germination station starting to sprout.
Closer shot of some of the early performers. While the T5s run much hotter, the plants seem to be growing out (sideways) better.
I'm also working part-time with a small, organic farm this year (5 acres). They supply produce to Boise restaurants, and even a local sauce maker. I will be in charge of the peppers. They are already growing about 5 varieties, but I hope to add another 100 plants. My hope is to buy some farming land in the future, and this will be an education!
Check out my profile for the 2015 grow list ... and feel free to give me a bump!

I see some pickle eggs in the near future. 
Those chickens are a lot like peppers,they keep giving and giving.
