my neighbours all have little patches that would still be mostly empty with merely 100 peppers planted in them... they take up only about a square foot each

I'm hoping to sell around 100 each of pepper and tomato plants this spring. I figured I have the seed, I may as well try to recoup my "infrastructure" spending in one season this way.

The solo cups are mostly personal stuff, but I started most of it too early. We'll likely have an early spring, but it's still at least a month until the earliest I'd be comfortable planting peppers and tomatoes outside.
