Peppers on the Vine

Here are a couple of peppers growing in a topsy turvy made especially for peppers. You can search our posts and find photos of this hanging on the front porch earlier in the season. It has openings for 8 plants. When these wrap up in a couple of weeks, I am going to plant a late summer crop of fish peppers and nosegay peppers (ornamental marble size) to carry us into the fall. These seedlings are growing now under a sunsystem HPS 150. They are nearly ready for transplant outdoors. I will start hardening them off tomorrow.

  1. If you use all 8 openings, your planters will dry out daily because of the root mass.
