APPENDIX 2
Growing specifications and instruction.
Seeds
Use the seeds from the hottest Jalapeno pepper that crosses your path. I don’t care if it’s from the grocery store, the field or the garden.
Seedlings
Fill several small bathroom Dixie cups with a lightweight potting soil that has good drainage. Using a pencil make a ¼inch hole in the soil of each cup. Place three to four seed in each hole and cover. Using the same pencil poke a small hole in the bottom of the cup for drainage and watering.
Germination
Germination takes about seven days at a temperature of eighty-degree Fahrenheit. When the seedlings develop five leaves transplant them to one-gallon containers, or put them in the ground on raised columns one foot apart separated by flat rows two feet apart (for those of you who want a farm).
Growing
In the soil of the one-gallon containers, there should be some topsoil to provide trace elements, which are indicated in the nutritional information above. The soil pH should be around 7.0 neutral.
Peppers like full sun.
Growing Ginger
Get your Ginger from the grocery store. Sit it in a tea cup saucer on top of a damp paper towel until buds form. When the buds form plant the Ginger one inch deep in a three or five gallon pot filled with a lightweight professional grade potting soil.
Ginger likes shade and temperatures above fifty degrees. Always add a little topsoil to the mixture to in sure trace elements. These will enable the plants engineering enzymes to build a proper plant.
