I started these peppers mid December. It has been a difficult grow so far with cats dumping trays and aphids. Surprisingly, only a few peppers were lost from the cat, but I did lose track of what pepper is what as they were labeled on the tray.
I think I am finally starting to get the aphids under control with careful application of diluted castile soap, diluted hydrogen peroxide, physical removal with a paint brush and putting them outside on warm days.
It has been interesting to see how the plants respond to the various stressors. I'm hoping in the end, they will be very strong plants for having gone through such hell.
