Howdy All,

Things are going good 51 plants going great, 8 kinds, no problems so
far.  I have seen many people saying they had a hard time starting
them.  I had no idea what I was doing so I stuck 2 per sell in potting
soil.  I then made the soil about the consistancy of mud and did nothing
to them for 4-5 weeks (except for 4 flourecent 40w tubes 12 hours a
day).  I had a blockbuster population, 2 in almost everyone.  I even
transplanted a few as sprouts and killed off the weak.  Just thought
maybee someone could use this info.

Anyway, I have my first POD!  It is a Hot Bannana(Mmmm).  The only
problem is that the plants are still under flourecent lights in a room,
not outside.  They are not going outside till late may(I'm in Dayton). 
Does this matter? Will it effect how they do outside? 

My last part might be a little strange(stupid?) and off topic but o
well.  I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I would figure out what
angle the sun is going to take over my house as the summer rolls along. 
It now seems to rise in the northeast and set due west.  Will this
change as late summer hits?  I am trying to figure out where to put
plants.  I do not have a garden and cant dig one, I dont own the house.  

Any insight would be great.
Thanx, hope your peppers are doing as well as mine.
