You're not organic, are you Bill? -Allan in WV
>I direct seed into 128 or 72 square-celled trays. 128 cells are
>about 1"x1" and 3/4" deep. I grow the peppers out in these trays and
>try to schedule plantings at about 6 weeks. Weather being
>uncooperative, I've planted as late as 9 weeks successfully in these
>trays. Not the best but if you have a greenhouse and manage water
>and nutrients well, peppers can handle it.
