2010 Pepper Seedlings

First and second batch of peppers for 2010 are transplanted!




1-2 of each variety for my garden, the rest are giveaways. All seem to be healthy, green and strong stems.

The potting mix, while a bit on the pricey side, I think well worth it...

Espoma Organic Potting Mix

Has the same properties as their Seed Starting Mix, but added more Perlite for water retention. It's been about a week, and seedlings doing great. I still add the worm castings to the mix. And in this photos, non of the seedlings received any additional fertilizer at this point, yet thick stems, beautiful foliage, what's there not to like?




Last peppers are planted today, Corno di Toro and Corno di Capra, generously shared by a fellow gardener, and I'm looking forward to growing out these Italian varieties this season! As for now - under the grow lights, in the basement these stay...
