Started these batch of peppers, Poblanos and Habanero’s, back at the end of November 2025. Also have one 7 Pot Primo pepper plant growing. They’re looking ready to be transplanted soon as I am getting antsy to start a new batch of super hots. Currently hardening off a few as I have ran out of room in my 4x2 grow tent.
To combat frost/low temp in my region, I built a lanky hoop house on one of my 4x4 raised beds. It’s my designated pepper bed, mixed in with CA Poppy and marigold (once they sprout). I currently have 3 in the raised bed, and 2 are hardening off. I still have 8 more plants in my grow tent.
Hope everyone is having a spicy morning!
Nice, I started my peppers at end of November too. Some of them are smaller than yours and some a bit bigger.
Do the poppies and marigolds have some function related to peppers?
Marigolds help attract nematodes and ladybugs which helps keep the aphids pop down. Poppies for some pollinators to swing by and eat more of the juicy aphids that’ll appear
