May 2, 2011Q.Green and Red Pepper Plants
Can I use Epsom salt when I plant my pepper plants to help produce more and bigger peppers? Can I also use it when I plant my hot peppers or should I use something else?

Certified ExpertA.Epsom salts won't necessarily produce more peppers, but it will help the plant have more of the "building blocks" of growing fruit, mainly calcium. Add phosphorus (bone meal) to help with boosting fruit production.

Certified ExpertA.You can try, but it is common for vegetables at the grocery store these days to be irradiated, which makes their seeds unable and not able to sprout. There is no harm in trying, but do not be surprised if they do not grow.

May 24, 2011Q.How to Grow Peppers
I have grown Marconi red peppers in my conservatory from seed and they are about 6 weeks old and doing well. I want to transfer them outside soon. They are about 6 inches high now. When should I move them from the lovely warm conservatory? Will they grow well in tomato grow bags, as they will be along a fence, or will pots be better? Also, will my cavalier peas be ok this way?

Certified ExpertA.As long as temperatures are staying consistently above 50 F (including at night), they can be moved outside. You will need to harden them off though. This article will explain how to do that:

June 7, 2011Q.Type Of Plant
I have planted red peppers in the greenhouse, and all seem slow in growing--no problem. But one has grown approximately 6 feet in three weeks with many off shoots and no sign of fruit. Also, the stem is hollow.

June 12, 2011A.Do you still have them in your greenhouse? If they are still in the greenhouse you might want to put them in your garden. Also you may want to try snipping the shoots off. Hope this helps and good luck

My first attempt at growing red peppers and I am finding the plant has something eating leaves. I have put egg shells around plants, but they have disappeared. It also has been very wet and not a lot of sunshine.
