Happy 1st Day of Spring!

Happy 1st Day of Spring! Time to plant pepper seeds!

The first day of spring is March 20th – that's today! Yay for spring. We have lots of our chile pepper seeds started, and it won't be long before we can plant them outside here in the West. If you're looking to start peppers from seed, it's not too late – keep them nice and toasty warm at 80-90˚ F and they'll sprout quickly. 

If you want to get some peppers started quickly, check out our Is it Too Late to Start Seeds? blog post which has short season recommendations for the fastest growing peppers. You can also check out our How to Grow Chilli Plants Faster blog post for other great fast growing peppers and tips.
