Mini Sweet Peppers

Oh - it has been a while since I've posted! I have been busy with garden tasks though I assure you. A tomato update is in the pipline for instance, as well as the documenting of the new growlight I will need to put together in the next couple of days. I have, or rather my seedlings, have outgrown their current living quarters. I have too many tomatoes! Though, I don't have all the ones I want, how is this possible you ask? Well, stay tuned.

Today though I just wanted to share an exciting little tidbit. I have been buying these cute little sweet peppers from the Wedge. They are red, yellow and orange and really cute. The other day when I was planting some sweet pepper seeds, I decided to plant a few to see what would happen. Ever since I saw them in the store, I've wanted to grow them, but I've never seen the seeds.

When I planted them, I didn't think it would work, I just thought - what the heck? I planted 3 seeds in one peat pot. As the other sweet peppers germinated and their little pot remained barren, I thought, "well, I know they're not going to work, but what if they do?" - so I kept playing along. And today, what do you think I saw? Three little sprouts were coming up! Not only did it work, but they ALL germinated! I only wish I didn't have to sacrifice the other 2. Perhaps I will plant more now that I know they work. I saved a bunch of the seeds in all three colors. Anybody want some?
