Hello I'm here in SC and lately it's been HOT in the low to mid 90's, with a hit or miss occasional shower but I water regular, I still want to get some more pepper plants going; bought some golden greek pepperoncini seeds; they came in today, can I sow these successfully directly into the soil or would you recommend starting them in a small container and then transplanting? I love these things pickled and want them all to grow so any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

The problem I have with direct sowing seeds is that it only takes 1 hungry grasshopper or whatever to chow down all your sprouts before they get big enough to be able to re grow leaves etc.
I do know people who put a coke bottle with the bottom cut out over the seeds like a mini greenhouse.If it gets hot they unscrew the cap...

i never sow any pepper seeds dirctly to the dirt. always be safe and use containers waite till they 4-6 inches then put them out
Its probably too late for starting seeds this year, but I agree with the above. For best results start plants inside for at least a month before planting outside.
We've discussed the greek pepperoncini in the past and there are apparently many different types, and to get them like the delis/ Papa john's you need to pick them green and bleach them with chemicals

Hmmm...I did not know about the chemical part1! Sounds like i have a lil research to do. Guess this will be a great place to start that! Thanks!
