| Is it too early or hot to replant lettuce and spinach? Also, if I leave peppers on the plant to change to their mature color, will it hinder production? (I know picking stimulates growth and I'm afraid of not having as many peppers.) |
| Ripening peppers to to red will slow production, yes. You can try replanting spinach, but I would recommend successive plantings. It is still too hot for lettuce. When you plant, dig a slightly deeper than usual furrow, water the furrow, then plant the seed. Water lightly and cover with a board to keep the soil moist and cool. Remove it as soon as they start to germinate. |
