How deep do you guys plant your peppers? I normally plant at the root ball, but I’m wondering if there are any advantages to planting up to the cotyledons. Just curious! The garlic, after what I’m calling the Great Amish Roofing Incident, is growing very well. The onions are getting taller every day, the cabbage and broccoli were put in late but seem to be just fine. I’m using grass clippings instead of dirt for potatoes I’m I’m now thinking the result will be rot. Oh well, I’m glad I experimented and now know better! 25 heirloom tomatoes and 60 hot peppers (pepperoncini, hot banana, cayenne, and jalapeño) will have to wait a week because of a minor cold snap this weekend. Happy gardening!
I just keep them at the same level as they are in the peat pot. Rule of thumb on seeds is plant it no more than 2 - 3 times the diameter, IIRC.
After about 4 weeks, I transplant them and make the hole deep enough to put the whole pot in and keep the top level with the top soil.
