Many of my seedlings did not survive, they sprouted and then withered away. I don’t have any Bhuts, Red Savina or other Habanero’s and lost a few others I can’t remember.
I think I have time to germinate a few more seeds and get them in the ground by the end of March.
I put several varieties of seeds including Red Savina, Peach, and Chocolate Habs, Naga Morich, Bhut J’s on wet paper towels inside ziplock sandwich bags, sealed them and put them on the heat pad. The seeds are on the top of the paper towel , I blew a little air into the bag so the plastic was not directly on the seeds and sealed them completely. Is this correct?
When they germinate what do I do?
On the seedlings I have now, some of those a little yellow that range from ½” tall with two leaves to 2” tall with 6 leaves, planted in 3 oz Dixie cups; should I pot-up for the next two weeks or put them in the garden?
I can easily protect them from frost.
And last question, what is the typical plant spacing that will maximize garden space but not be detrimental to plant growth or fruit production?
Current photo, my tomatoes are doing far better than my peppers under the same conditions. I am not sure about the yellowing of my peppers, over watering, too much light, insufficient nutrients, salt in the tap water?????????????
