This is an old legend so their are, of course, many versions- Any time it is re-told it may be embellished or changed by the storyteller- Regardless of how you’ve heard the story, it’s a fun one to tell!

Hi Cindy and thank you for your question.
Your pepper seedlings should be fine to start hardening off to be outdoors now. To be extra cautious you should bring them in if a cold front – wind – hail- or any other inclement weather comes through.
As long as the temperature doesn’t drop below about 70F they should be fine.
Enjoy!

I have just started planting hot peppers. My habanero, bird pepper have turned into seedlings they have 2 little tiny leaves. I live in las Vegas, can I keep them outside direct sunlight in the morning then bring them in the house? Since germinating seeds needs heat can I keep them outside till they start to sprout? Thank you so much for any help you may give me!

I recommend germinating the seeds at about 80-85 degrees. In Idaho you will want to germinate them indoors and then bring them outdoors after the last chance of frost has past. You can plant them in large (10 gallon) containers so that you can bring them back inside in the fall.

It’s hard to say exactly what your problem is from here but it sounds like you may have horn worms.
Here are a few suggestions for you”

1.Get down on your hands and knees and look underneath your plants for evidence of horn worms. Green droppings are usually the best indicator. If you see any horn worms or larvae on your plants, remove them by hand.

2. Make a hot pepper or soap and lime spray and spray it directly onto the worms. To make the spray, chop ½ cup of hot peppers, and mix them with 2 cups of hot water. Strain and spray. The capsaicin in the peppers should cause nerve damage to the insects and repel them from the plants.

3. Do things to invite birds to the garden. Build birdhouses, put out bird feeders and bird baths. They are natural predators to the tomato hornworms.

I hope this helps! Good luck…

I have been planting my own garden for several years my problem with planting peppers is, when I plant any variety that start green but turn red when ripe get bugs in them before they can turn red. Therefore I am always having to pick them before they are fully grown. What and I doing wrong? and what can I do to prevent this? This happens own my own seed plants as well as plants that I buy from a store. The bugs look like tiny worms. Please help, it’s depressing after all the work and you cannot enjoy the real fruit of your labour as they say.

I wait your reply. Can you suggest a type a pepper that has a large yeild by it fine in Ontario weather. Thank you in advance.
