Re: A question on planting peppers

You can plant them deeper, up to the first leaf set. I would also cover
them with mini-greenhouses made out of two-liter coke bottles or out of
plastic over wire fencing. I live in Tacom (warmer & earlier than you) but
I always do this until mid-june and I have great fruit set.
