I figured I'd go ahead and post this in here instead of starting a new thread:


Disclaimer - I have never gardened or grown anything in my life.


After living in an apartment through college and after, I finally have a very small backyard and would like to plant some cayenne pepper and jalapeños. What do I need to know? Everything from buying the plants/seeds, what to do to the area of the ground before planting, to growing and actually harvesting. Any websites would be greatly beneficial.

Thanks!

you can buy raised bed kits at Lowes, or you can just make your own

for the soil, I use a mix of topsoil, gardening mix, and blood meal

I then top the soil with leaves from the previous fall for free mulch and organic material

to make it easy, just buy the starter plants

peppers are pretty easy to grow
