Are these seeds heated? Ideal germinating temps are 80-85F (27-29C) for
peppers. Three to four weeks for germination is not uncommon.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

It could take longer particularly if the soil is too cool. If it is much
too cold they won't germinate at all.

Sweet pepper is also known as the Bell Peppers. it covers a wide variety
of mild peppers that, like the chile, belong to the capsicum family. The
best known sweet peppers are bell peppers, named for their bell-like
shape. They have a mild, sweet flavor and crisp juicy flesh. When young
most bell peppers are a rich, bright green, but there are also yellow,
orange, purple, red and brown bell peppers. Red bell peppers are green
bell peppers that have ripened longer and are very sweet. The red
heart-shaped pimiento is another popular sweet pepper. Pimientos are the
familiar red stuffing found in green olives. Other sweet pepper
varieties include cachucha, European sweet, bull horn, etc.

Was this a typing assignment for you?

What kind of brilliance is it to tell a gardening group the barest of
basics about peppers?

You mean like PTSD?

Great, but you deal with the prattle, OK?

I agree that peppers are nice but the "bell pepper" type seems to take a
lot of room in comparison to its yield. However, a grilled, freshly
picked, red bell pepper is one of those things you should taste before
you shuffle off this mortal coil. I had a horrible harvest last year
because of our lack of heat. The local paper says that some gave up
trying to grow tomatoes last year because it was so cool.

For many North Coast gardeners, the unthinkable happened last year. Rain
and then a cool summer sucked the life out of many tomato vines.

Fortunately, we are off to a good start. It's 79F today, and the rest of
the week is predicted to be over 80F. I'll still be wrapping the
tomatoes and peppers in clear plastic mulch, though.

Our squash, lettuce, potatoes, and cucumbers are in. I've been losing
some potatoes, and I can't figure out what it is. There is chicken wire
on the ground and cages over the plants. Rascally Raccoon doesn't like
either, and I've spread a couple of cups of iron phosphate around, so I
know it isn't snails and slugs. Something killed off most of our peas. I
replaced the lost ones today and turned on the drip irrigation to check
the system. Looks good to go.

Tomatoes came up kinda leggy. Putting them out in the cool didn't seem
to help, but they are starting to show some life now.

That pretty much leaves the tomatoes, peppers, basil, beans, and corn to
plant.

Mark Twain could have not said it better!

I am off to a bad start here. I was late in getting my seeds going for
Peppers. I have had very little success for peppers because of my short
summer season. I had a long harsh winter that was way out of the ordinary.
The snow ended two weeks ago a month past normal and now i have rain just
about every other day. The ground is saturated with water. In Michigan Mid
May to the End of May is the time everyone starts to plant. I need at least
a two weeks of dry weather to even think about planting. Spotty rain in the
forecast for each day this week.

It has also been much colder here. We are about ten degrees ferinheight
below normal for the spring averages. Very little sunshine coming through
my south windows. Typically my little T-5 grow lights use provide
additional light that was sufficient for strong plants. So cloudy that my
seedlings are on the spindly side. Now that I am on fixed income I am
reluctant to buy more lights.

A single bell pepper is going for $2.50 each here in Michigan. They may not
have the yield but I have feeling my meals this fall are going to be bland.

I meant to mention that the honey bees, and the butterflies have engaged
the the sage (Salvia officinalis), and our wisteria with a serious
intent. The bees like the wild onions, too, but the wild onions are
invasive (they'd probably see it as assertive).

A couple of suggestions for those who want to attract bees and
butterflies.

I see that you are in the UK - a friend who lives there tells me that the UK
has had a really cold Spring. Even here in Australia I don't plant any of
the pepper family until late Spring (inside in pots) or Summer (outside in
warm soil) and even then I'm not disappointed if I don't get a harvest
because I know they are heat lovers and my season can be a bit short givne
that I live in a tableland cold climate.

Usually, we have rain in June every 10 years. We've had raine in June
each of the last 3 years. We've just had a day and a half of good rain,
and on Friday, it's supposed to be 92F (33C). Grapes were just finishing
there flowering. Good weather for mold.
