Okay - I'm gonna order these pepper seeds early - plant them in containers
inside and see if I can get some peppers - grown inside - in April.

Just for the heck of it...

COZUMEL
Product Description:
53 days. This very early Caribe-type pepper produces
attractive and tasty, 4 inch long blonde fruit that
matures through a sunset of rosy orange tones to a final
red color. Thick walled and juicy, the flavor develops
from mildly spicy to fruity balanced with tingly fire.

I’ve still got lettuces in the unheated greenhouse. My GOAL is to have greens into December, which just MIGHT work this year, as our temps have moderated again, and with an extra cover over them, they’re still making it through the frigid nights.

Other than that, I’m growing Arugula under lights right now, then I’ll start some Spinach inside and a few rounds of sprouts to tide us over.

As far as growing Peppers indoors go, be VIGILANT about looking for and guarding against Whiteflies and Fungal Gnats. They WILL find your Pepper plants in an off-season indoor environment, no matter what.

Good looking peppers! Peppers that grow quickly are the way to go!

Fungus gnats are attracted to the smell of spagnum moss. They lay their eggs in it, feed on it when they hatch, and can also feed on the tender roots of some developing plants.

There is a product called Mosquito bits that has BT that will kill the larvae. you sprinkle it in the soil and soak it in. Diana might know something to use on the Whiteflies.
