start them early in pots indoors

How many seeds per pot?

3-4, how many plants you want?

warm soil temperature is really important for peppers 80-85F.

I have the seeds. You gave me beautiful instructions on
how to harvest them.

I am well aware that they may fail because of the cold.
If I wait too long, earwigs will eat the sprouts.

I would try them indoors, but my wife is allergic
to soil (mold allergy). Worst come to worst, I
will have to buy them from Bonnie from Wally World.


You could still plant them in pots outside, chose a sheltered position and
use 2 litre soft drinks bottles with the bottoms cut off as mini green
houses. Obviously use pots that will fit inside the bottles which will
protect the soil as well as the plants.

Thank you!

Do they protect against the freeze?

Do you need t open them up in the day to let
new air in and respiration out?
