I am pretty new to gardening and brand new to peppers (and all other veggies). On a whim I decided to grow peppers, and things were going great... I started them in little peat pellets by seed under lights (they are a sweet pepper mix by Burpee), and once they got a few sets of true leaves and were fairly good size I transplanted them to 4" pots that I sterilized and used a miracle grow potting soil for vegetables. I don't think I have been watering too much, but I have been watering on top of the soil rather than bottom watering (now that they are in the larger pots I wasn't sure if I needed to continue with the bottom watering... obviously a newby at this). So now I have noticed the white fuzzy mold on the top of the soil, and also the base of the stem is having problems I think, as seen in the bad picture, hopefully you can see it ok. I guess my question is, does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do now? It is too cold outside here to move them out... we are supposed to get snow this weekend, which is not normal for us. Do I need to re-pot them? Will they live with that problem to their stem? My poor little seedlings! :( Thanks!
