One of the benefits of living in Southern California is that my habanero plants I planted in ground have a brand new crop of peppers already and more than last year's. They are still green but full size and it's only January 4th. I can't wait for my seeds to arrive this year, going to plant them immediately. Looking forward to watching yours and my chilis grow this year!

I start my chillies and peppers 26th Jan on windowsills, move into the greenhouse mid march and some outside in may. Works great for me in the UK.

So glad you've done this video Shaun. I've been itching to get going myself! Ha. Too tempting. Thanks pal

Some great information Shaun! Really appreciate you sharing it with us. I plan to start a couple super-hot chili’s this weekend. Just a couple plants. I intend to grow a couple of them in the tent all year. Just going to keep the same plan as last year and have some in the tent, some in pots outdoors, and some in the ground. Thanks again for all the help. Stay Spicy! V/R Shane

Where I live, cold soil is an issue that stunts them. It can still be cold weeks after my last frost date. Mulch makes it even worse, unless pulled off in early spring. I use pots for some of my peppers and have learned to take soil temp and not put any in the garden till the soil warms up, regardless of the date.

I am still tempted to start some seeds now! But I know I will regret it, as I do each time I have done it in the past!

Thanks for this, it's a great prompt. I always start them off too late. Will start the hots on the weekend. Will keep me staying spicy.

im in florida. i start mine off in mid to late december. ive already potted up a few reapers and cayenne's from the peat moss seed pods to solo cups. i have almost 30 sprouted and theyll be in pots so i can bring them in from the weather if it gets real cold again, once they get big enough to get off artificial light

Good advice! I live in zone 3 and start my super hots around st pactricks day and the rest April first. It’s hard to wait, I’ve been getting seed catalogs for two mths now. Thanks for all the great advice tips and tricks to get the most out of our crops❤

Great video packed with valuable info and well presented mate

Mine will be in the kitchen, by the window which has a pleasant little jungle in it - so the light seems to be OK.
I hope they work - mostly because chillis look good, but also in the hope of growing some actual crop.
Thanks for the vid.

(Canada) I have a seedling bed in a greenhouse which is made from stainless steel. It's 6 feet wide, 3 feet front to back, 5 inches deep, and it's filled with.1/8th inch minus crush. I put in 2 inches of crust, then a heater wire was zigzagged throughout in ~6 inch rows across the whole thing. This was then covered in around another 2 inches of crush. The heater's only 100W but it seems to have no problem keeping the bed at 20C even when its close to freezing outside. The most expensive part was the stainless bin (had a metal shop bend/weld if for me, cost 170 bucks). Last frost here is around May 1st, and yet I've had no problems starting seeds in mid march even with the occasional frosty night.

Just received my seeds from the chillichump. Nice touch with the freebie! Need to find some more space for that - definitely not complaining though.

Can't wait mate! Gonna be a hell of a season!

I'm starting my seeds later this year. Last year I had to pluck the flowers constantly before planting the plants into ground.

I started my Birds Eye end of august (Devon) but I’m growing indoors keeping in the warmest room, already starting to flower 😍🥰

I started my tomatoes to early this year anticipating that they would already be in the ground by 3/15 give or take. However, here in Northern California zone 9b it has been storming more than expected and looks to be unstable for quite some time. I have a FOREST of tomatoes spread out over a large and long dining room table. 😂 I wish I would’ve of saw this video and listened to your advise back in January.

I'm from Argentina, I know no frost, never in my life have seen snow. I just sowed them starting summer here :3

very looking forward to heating insights form you. i've tried it in an un-insolated greenhouse for a month or two and got 300+ eur electricity arrears. never doing it again this way.. in Slovakia i've found over the years that easiest is to plant chilies on a windowsill during march (never earlier), because plants planted in this way will always catch up with those planted under artificial light within 1-2 weeks. the superhot varieties are not doing me a favor to be honest and although it is very tempting to plant some every year I almost always end up end up with green, unripen peppers in october / november.
