pepper update, April 17
Apr. 17th, 2015 08:46 pmPepper update! My third and final batch of seeds began to sprout on Tuesday the 14th, one day before I expected much from them. I took pictures on Wednesday the 15th, and again on Friday the 17th. Three seeds had sprouted in the first set, and a fourth has now joined them. You can get a sense of just how fast the seedlings grow at first when you consider that barely 48 hours have passed between the two pairs of photographs.

And now for the rest of the peppers! As you can see, the first batch of seedlings are now starting to grow their second pair of leaves. (Well, except the one that couldn't crack its seed coat, which I had to rescue with fingernail scissors, and which is still very tiny and hesitant, but hey: details.)

Also, have a picture of all the peppers together in one shot, because why not. :-)
