I have room for 4 flats under the lights so I switch the flats after 12 hours and am able to have 8 flats. Maybe this could work for you also depending on where your lights are. Mine are in the basement so they don't keep me awake at night with the light.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-29430347042994679702010-02-26T08:47:56.578-05:002010-02-26T08:47:56.578-05:00Thanks for reminding me!

I figured that I would give away the seedlings I don't use myself. No sweet peppers for me this year. Just Poblanos, Jalapeno and chilies.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-20755876143040120462010-02-26T08:42:55.961-05:002010-02-26T08:42:55.961-05:00Exciting variety of peppers you are growing.

My peppers produced the same in both the traditional garden and SFGs last year. I had them spaced 1 per square in the SFGs and about 1.5 feet apart in the traditional garden in rows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-57736595026326489602010-02-26T08:04:46.179-05:002010-02-26T08:04:46.179-05:00That's quite a pepper crop you will be growing...That's quite a pepper crop you will be growing this year. I am lucky to get them to maturity with our cooler summer so I am sticking to just one kind, in the greenhouse (again), and a fast maturing variety at that. It will be interesting to watch how your peppers do in the upside down containers. I would imagine they would do very well - but have not seen any one do anything but tomatoes so far.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-80531234594869823092010-02-26T07:59:39.051-05:002010-02-26T07:59:39.051-05:00I really thought about planting yesterday, but I&#...I really thought about planting yesterday, but I'm off on a long weekend trip and figured it would be best to sow them right before I leave. That way they wouldn't be stuck under the dome after they come up.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-43776514046861924802010-02-26T07:58:33.045-05:002010-02-26T07:58:33.045-05:00I love the pepper and agree that earlier is better...I love the pepper and agree that earlier is better for them.

Due to a lack of space, I'm just sticking with bells this year. Seems like no matter how much space we gardeners have, it's never enough!!

I plan on starting mine in the house, while I build another shelf in the mini greenhouse. That means I must buy more lights, so I might as well hang a couple on the outside of the unit for cool weather sprouts and devote the mini to peppers and toms.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-18684296149163062002010-02-25T23:28:30.220-05:002010-02-25T23:28:30.220-05:00Miss M - If you have the room it is worth starting...Miss M - If you have the room it is worth starting the peppers early or at least some of them. I am growing upside down tomatoes again but in buckets this year like you did last.

Hmm, decisions, decisions ...<br /><br />I'm going upside-down with my peppers too. I think they'll do better than upside-down toms. (The tomatoes are going in beds this year). I'm going with the 5-gallon containers again. I'll probably pop two or three plants in there.miss mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779663826025791655noreply@blogger.com
