How and When to Start Peppers & Tomatoes Indoors: For New Gardeners
So... many people say to start your peppers and tomatoes 6-8 weeks before last frost. That is true as a frost or freeze will kill off the plants. But... they are warm weather plants and they won't take off and grow until the soil is warmed to the 50's. You won't get bigger plants faster by getting them out 3 weeks early in cold soil. The plants will just sit still and often they look stunted and can get some purple hue to them. That is the cold.

Hello
ReplyDeleteEverything is very useful to me.
A problem for me is that I am European and I do not know English.
I started from pepper-seed-tomatoes and cucumbers.
I see you use EPSOM SALT for How to Start / Plant Pepper Seeds. I also have but do not know how to properly use it.
I also have Sulphate of Potash.
Please help with the use.
Greetings
