My fifth year of pepper growing begins. Again carolina reapers, and jalapeños. 🌶️🌱
After 2.5 weeks germinating in a paper towel, about 1/3 of my reaper seeds have sprouted. Moving them to a seed starting tray, along with some jalapeños which grow a lot easier. Otherwise the parent pepper tree seems healthy and happy after a winter by the window. 🌶️🌱
After a few weeks in the starter tray, it looks like only 1 of my reaper seedlings survived, and about 5 jalapeños look healthy. Also, the parent reaper has started making its first pepper of the year. 🌶️
Moving the peppers to nursery pots.
The pepper plants have been growing alright, in a few weeks maybe they can move outside. Two of the jalapeños seem a bit behind. The old reaper plant has two nice little peppers growing. 🌶️🌱
