Default Peper types I have/my plans to start them.

Well I went to menards, last night and brought 2, 50 pack seed plug trays. Plus I'll have 75 plugs at the harmony green house. So in total about 175+ seed plugs In April on the 19th I plan on starting the peppers/tomatos.


Will I need thick Nitrile gloves to handle the Trinidad seeds?


As well as trinidad I have some sweet pepper varities.

Now if I can just drill a hole in the bottoms for drainage.

I did not use gloves for the seeds but I never thought about it at the time. The ghost pepper seeds did not burn me.
Do you have access to a drill? mgiht try drilling holes on teh botom sides insead of the bottom due to possible clogging off of the holes

Yeah, I'll Drill holes with Patrick my staff/ I'l ask him about bringing it next month. Hes really good at carpentry or maybe I'l have menards drill the botoms and sides for me.


As for the gloves, better safe then sorry, these are very hot peppers.

I have handled lots of hot peppers and their seeds. If the seeds are dry and your hands are dry you should be ok.

Me too Peppero but I still wear gloves when handling them. I took a bathroom break once after handling some and it wasn't pleasant, gloves ever since.
