How could anyone who enjoys playing in dirt and planting seeds not open your post with that awesome opener "click bait" image?
What kind of lighting do you use on the seedlings and what's the average temperature in the house or wherever you keep the peppers? @generikat
Fantastic write up, step by step instructions and photographs! Great upcycling use of plastic cutlery that every curbside and carryout restaurant provided us with in excess during tthe pandemic. I have a bag with surplus utensils waiting to be used for projects such as yours. It's not quite warm enough to start planting in my region - April 15th is the normal.🔆
Keep up the terrific work and I look forward to seeing your hard work pay off!

Ha ha ha! Thanks! I love garden themed click bait images lol!
I have 4 foot grow light bulbs that I purchased from the hardware store, I think they were like $10 per bulb, but they might be more expensive now, and it stays between 65-70 in the bathroom where I keep them.
And I hear you about not putting things outside, we have a pretty short and somewhat crazy growing season (it can go from 50- over 100 F in a single day and has even snowed during the summer!), so I don't dare put anything outside before Mid May without frost protection. That said, I have to start lots of plants like peppers and tomatoes early so they get enough growing days in to fruit.
Thank you so much for such an awesome comment and upvotes! Hope you had an awesome day!
