Hello all.
I think I have finally gathered up enough content to start my first glog up. So here we are.
Location: Florida (South)
Zone: 10A

I'll start by posting three different mini sections:1) Seeds and sprouts.
2) Potted up, planted, and seedlings.
3) Inventory (soil, fertilizers, ect.)
Seeds and sprouts.

I chose to use Hell Hot Peppers (http://hellhotpeppers.com/) for most of the seeds because I liked the selection they had.
The seeds were priced well and they shipped very fast.

Here they are listed:
- Purple Jalapeno
- Numex Twilight
- Mini Yellow Bell
- Thai Hot
- Peter Pepper
- Monster Cayenne
- Pumpkin Pepper
I cut a 72 cell seed tray and mini greenhouse into 6 cell sections and sowed two seeds per cell in a Jiffy seed starting mix. I watered from the bottom and then lightly sprayed the top with filtered room temperature water. I used cut in half paint sticks for temporary labeling. I did not soak any seeds prior to sowing.

Here is today (8 days later). I have started to separate the ones germinating into another tray so I can move them in and out of sunlight and breeze while the other seeds still remain indoors and mostly covered. The taller sprouts on the bottom left are Pumpkin peppers and only took 3 days to germinate, and then followed by the Aji Limons that took 5 days. 95% of the rest are germinating right now and soon will all be in one tray.

I have been trying to get light on the sprouts as much as possible. It's the south Florida summer so It can be hot sunshine one day and stormy and rainy the next. I have not invested in proper artificial lighting so during the night or in dark weather during the day, i've been sticking the sprouts on top of my golf cart up as close as I can get to the fluorescent garage light.
