“I might need some tutoring lessons in the mysteries of pepper growing from you and Eric.”

It's easy. Use 5 oz. paper cups, use ice pick to punch 4 or 5 holes in the bottom of the cups, and punch some around the side close to the bottom of the cup, use Espoma seed starter, place seeds in at depth given on envelope, place in tray with about 1/2 inch or little more, filtered water, or rainwater, in tray. Put under grow lamp with lamp very close to cups. Replace water when tray is empty. Keep lamp on during day and turn off when go to bed.

That is the easy part - now, here is the hard part - every day, stand in front of grow lamp, and wring your hands, day after day thinking they aren't going to grow, repeat wringing hands thinking they aren't going to grow, until one day you see a bit of green. Apply adult beverage (alcohol) into your body until you can't see straight - you got pepper to grow!
