WANTED: Fast growing Peppers!

13 years ago

Hey all.

I am looking for any seeds of fast growing pepper plants. I am really interested in Dutch Peppers, however. I would love seeds of any of the pepper plants that are shown on this site:

http://www.fatalii.net/growing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=95&Itemid=105

I am looking to do the same thing that website did and create bonsai out of the plants. Does anyone have any of those seeds? I have mostly tree seeds, or I can send an SASBE if that is preferred. I do not have flower seeds, however :/

Thanks!

Ryan

I don't have seeds, but I have a couple ideas. If you want something just for this season, you might try mammoth sunflower seeds. They require quite a bit of water, but they make a tall, sturdy natural fence. In front of the basic mammoth sunflower picket fence you can fill in with other flowers for more privacy. There are other varieties of sunflowers such as maximillan which grow to 6' and are branching. At the same time you can plant poplar trees. They grow quickly and in a few years you'll have a screen. They'll be beautiful for about 20 years. Another longer term solution would be lilac bushes. I'm in Nebraska and they grow 12' high although it takes several years and they last a long time. They also bloom in the spring and smell like heaven. Heidi

Hi Everyone!!! I'm kind of a newbie.....well a returning trader/collector actually, but haven't been here in a few years. I am presently living in the Georgian Bay area (Zone 4-5) and looking for help with regards to quick germinating and easy growing annuals that are beautiful. I only have to offer at this time some Scarlet Flax, Giant and mixed regular Zinnias and Coleus seed. Does anyone have any suggestions or is anyone interested in a trade? Happy planting and growing everyone!!!

Peppers growing extremely fast, and are getting leggy

I have had the same results lots of times, you do have to be on top of it and checking for them to break the surface of the dirt. Now im sure there are other thoughts on this subject but I have always found that as soon as the seeds break the soil surface and start to open you need to drop the temp right away. They will grow foliage slower with a regular light and cool temps but they are still developing a root system . Bright light and cool temps will produce very thick green plants . Dim light and hot temps makes them leggy and pale green, in my experience . I have one room in my house that I close all the heating vents and set my starters in there under the lights for a few weeks till I can start setting them out in the sun or in a green house. Also on another note, I think the hardening off process is as much about the temperature change as it is being in full sun light. So if you have them at 85 degrees in the house it is going to be a long road to get them ready to be set outside.
