They're Alive

The first seedlings have appeared!


They are both hot Thai peppers. No sign of anything else yet.

Planning on planting the tomato seeds in a couple of days.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

The peppers are planted.

I'm using two seed flats with inserts which total 72 cells per flat or 144 total cells for the pepper seedlings. I planted the following cultivars:

Thai Yellow Chili
Thai Burapa
Long Purple Cayenne
Roberto's Cuban Seasoning
Numex Big Jim
Chili De Comidia
Corno Di Toro Rosso

I decided to plant 18 cells (2 pods) of the the first five varieties and 27 cells (3 pods) of the last two. The Chili De Comidia seed packet has a label that says "This item is overpacked due to low germination.", so I decided to plant a few extra cells just in case. I also planted an extra pod of the Corno Di Toro Rosso which is a red sweet pepper since we tend to use a lot more sweet peppers then hot peppers during the summer.
