Oh, your peppers look delightful! I have 3 Big Girl tomatoes and they already have blossoms! YIKES! If we get a freeze in February or March, they’ll be done!
The plants in the bigger, white cups are peppers. I just started them a couple of weeks earlier than the rest. They grow a lot quicker if you start them in a larger cup to begin with, I’ve learned.
hmm that’s interesting. Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to remember that next time since it’s too late now. Oh well. Actually, one of my pepper plants is starting to blossom. Is that bad? It’s still under the grow lights.
You might need to transplant your pepper plants into something a little bigger since you don’t want to transplant your plants into the ground yet because of the chance of freezing.
Also, you might keep your plants healthier and hardier by taking them out into real sunlight during the day and then bring them inside in the evening. But keep a close watch on them at first because sometimes they get a little droopy. If they do just stick them in shade for the first day or two until they perk up. Before you leave them outside make sure they are watered well.
thanks!
I’ve gotten my peppers transplanted into 3 inch pots now and am almost ready to do the same with my tomatoes. I am really excited this year.
What are the plants in the bigger containers?
I will get mine going this weekend. Do I have to start transplant them, or can I just plant the seeds and hope for the best?

Ok, I’ll do that. Thanks for the help Staci!
