[QUOTE="BDub, post: 158191, member: 448"] Personally I never start peppers or tomatoes before April 10th. I like stout stalks with lots of roots. Plenty of time if you start in April. Peppers do not like cool weather - May. I have grown hundreds of tomatoes and peppers and never put them in the ground before the end of May. To tell the truth the first week of June most often. Much depends on the climate of your garden. Windy, cool gardens can be planted later. I plant my peppers in raised beds. That protects them from the wind. I start them in those cheap plastic trays. When they look sturdy I transfer them to 8 ounce paper cups. Then start taking them outside for a while. Somewhat sheltered from the wind. Essentially they are growing in the ground but not really. So if we get that wonderful frost at the end of May they are fine. Covering plants in the fall is one thing. They are not very sturdy in the spring. [/QUOTE]
