Great offer Fellow illinoisian! How big are them bad boys now
I've got about 2/3's of them transplanted to 5" pots. The rest will get done as time permits. The ones I've transplanted are sitting outside now getting tough. 
They're pretty decent sized, 8-10 sets of true leaves on most; the annuums have double or triple forked and are setting flowers.
These are the "small ones" I haven't transplanted yet.
(Currently being treated for aphids with ladybugs)
They're ready to harden out.
These are getting hardened off; all those are in 5" pots (for scale)
The other angle. Try not to use the dog on the left for scale; he stands 8' tall on his hind legs and is 38" tall at the shoulders.... (Irish Wolfhound)

Wow, thats a ton of healthy looking big plants. Mine are still pretty small like 4-5 inches because i didnt transplant them from small cells soon enough. I have much better luck starting in solo cups ive noticed. Makes me wanna drive to grab a few haha
Just curious as im not familiar with laws but is it illegal to send plants via mail?
It is if you aren't a registered / inspected nursery; especially if they cross state lines. I also can't sell live plants without being registered and inspected (which I'm not).
Which is why I'm giving them away.
(I do take donations for materials, but not required)
Next year, if I have the stomach to grow this much again, I may go through with the registration and inspection.

Dog dug a hole in the middle of the yard = pepper plant.
Rosebush died out front = pepper plant!
