I'm getting a bit of a late start but hey, better late than never. Besides, here in Az. we have a VERY long growing season.
A week ago last Sunday I planted these little guys in one of those peat-pot mini hot houses. The instructions said it would take 10 to 12 days before anything would sprout, the toms started to come up in about 5 days with the japs a day or so behind. Here they are below, the left four 'beefmaster' toms, the right four jalepenos & bringing up the rear are the center four, habeneros.
Since I don't really have a suitable place in my backyard right now, I plan to plant these guys in large pots so I have a couple of questions for the growing experts here...
At what point should these little guys go to their pots?
What is best for soil? I have a big ol' bag of Miracle Gro potting mix to use. Is it okay to use the potting mix alone or should it be a mix of dirt & potting soil?
And when these little guys get bigger I imagine bugs may become a factor. What is the recommended potion for getting rid of them?
Thanks guys.
