Hi Tom and others who have responded. I live in zone 7 VA. Although the calendar sayst that we have spring, the weaher has not figured that out yet. The pepper plants on at my office. They are setting on a radiatior which has a 1" board across it. The peppers get some sun in the am but get full afternoon sun through large windows. Guess that they are happy there,. Should I put them into the ground or just outside in their pots?
