I have germinated seeds using a variety of methods, and the best I found for both seeds and cuttings were jiffy peat pellets along with the included humidity dome. I also use a heating mat to maintain temps around 78.Gnona try an indoor seed-starter this year. tried last year and had very little luck. Just doing Peppers this year. Any tips?
Nice setup. I got 40 to 50 peppers a day off of a similar setup last season, even with the drought. I'm expecting big things this season in Brookfield.Here's the garden boxes before they were filled w/ soil, the garden in it's infancy, and today one of my tomato plants bloomed

without knowing what kind of peppers you were growing -- a drought may not have been the absolute worst thing for them...As I'm sure you know, being a plant originally seeded in hotter climates, they can go a cpl days without ANY water and in direct sunlight and still produce. I'm actually over-watering the banana pepper plants seen on the far left of the 2nd picture...stems are turning black. Gotta remember that just b/c they're by the tomato plants, they don't need NEAR as much water - lol.Nice setup. I got 40 to 50 peppers a day off of a similar setup last season, even with the drought.

I was low key, just Jalapenos and you are right, tomatoes suffered way more than peppers. More than anything though, we didn't have enough heat to get those things to turn red. This season should be pretty hot and I'm looking forward to it.without knowing what kind of peppers you were growing -- a drought may not have been the absolute worst thing for them...As I'm sure you know, being a plant originally seeded in hotter climates, they can go a cpl days without ANY water and in direct sunlight and still produce.

Any chance of sticky for this thread?
that's a good idea. We have a porch -- no yard. But we were able to grow some big-ass corn on it, or at least, my wife was able toOne per pot. No snobbery from me, this shit is not easy. So many plants and variables beyond your control, it's like thunderdome out there.
You might want to look into vertical gardening though, Ole. Pay a crackhead in the Fulton Market district 10 bucks a palate and get to work:

That's awesome. I'm a corn hater because a company that will remain unnamed because we don't need themfucking up this forum. (worked briefly for M when I did PR and they aggressively monitor webz lol conspiracy theory style) but corn for eating is good I guess. How u grew that on a porch is cool shit.that's a good idea.
