Myron ,try wall of water protection for your young seedlings. When I lived
in Illinois the wind blew constantly,much like your situation near the
ocean. Could also help some on the salt air effects on your young seedlings.
I currently have 25 tomato plants in the ground here in north Arkansas,with
wall of water pyramids over them.Next week should get in my chile plants
that I grew from seed. Wall of water will also keep the moisture in the
ground, and not evaporate into the air. I can't rave enough about them.
Individually they are expensive, but well worth the cost. Good luck, Paul

Dear C-H'ers,
I've never had much luck trying to grow chiles right by the ocean, but
decided to try again!
Have about 30 jalapeņo seedlings (1" - 2") in a tray, looking good!
When should I transplant, and should I try outside again (sigh!) or keep
them indoors?
Thanks!
