They are less cold tolerant than tomatoes and so I do not rush to plant them on the first average frost free date - rather I shoot for a few weeks past that point. I find later planted peppers actually do better longer term then ones that were put into the ground earlier and were stressed by cooler conditions. <br /><br />It's amazing how much of a difference adding a heat mat makes and having a warmer room for the plants to reside in. Warmth really is a big part of the equation for early growth.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-24125580367930811332010-02-09T16:30:10.216-05:002010-02-09T16:30:10.216-05:00Sbensink, it's so exciting to get into the di...Sbensink, it's so exciting to get into the dirt!The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-55914972370056898062010-02-09T14:13:32.057-05:002010-02-09T14:13:32.057-05:00Got some dirt and some peat pots last weekend, so ...Got some dirt and some peat pots last weekend, so hoping to get some stuff in the dirt pretty soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943249090279044841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-60993593906749314092010-02-09T09:02:55.480-05:002010-02-09T09:02:55.480-05:00Chard lady, welcome and thanks!Chard lady, welcome and thanks!The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-62943457332704337952010-02-08T19:54:28.282-05:002010-02-08T19:54:28.282-05:00Beautiful!Beautiful!Chard Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331048001826505504noreply@blogger.com
