Peppers

Peppers love hot weather, they simply will not germinate unless day temperatures hits high 70's or more. In Houston it's not too much a problem to raise peppers because summers are really long here, so we don't encounter the misfortune northern states find there. I'm only in the phase of 4 weeks after the germination and the real leaves are starting to grow in the little plants. I know pepper plants before been transplanted must wait around 6 to 8 weeks, especially in northern states to make sure a last sudden frost does not kill them, but even here in Houston is better to wait till the beginning of April to do so, after all from seed to bear fruit is a 75 days long journey!.

Front are banana and bell peppers mix around 4 weeks old after germination. Behind are other peppers less than 2 weeks old after germination.

Habanero pepper almost 4 weeks old.
