A Little Explaining

All of a sudden, I'm growing chile peppers. The varieties are Gusto Purple, and Bulgarian Carrot, both of which I bought from Territorial Seed Company.* When it comes to actual growing know-how, my only source so far has been thechileman.org. Bad grammar on some stuff, bad punctuation on others. But hey, they grow peppers, don't they? And that's what counts. Aside from confusion over "peat-free seed compost" (um, I think they meant "seed-starter mix?"), I'm off to a good start. 


To be honest, I should have started these babies like a month ago, but that's what "budgeting" is for, I guess. Once I finally ended up with materials. Now they're in trays of dirt, germinating. Well, that's what they're supposed to be doing, anyway. Waiting for seedlings is weirdly stressful, and there's a week and a half left until I see sprouts. Somehow it doesn't seem like covering these small seeds with some dirt and water and popping them on a heating pad will do anything. The fact that there are peppers in supermarkets should be some proof that it works, though. ^_^

Seeds in dirt on a fridge. Impressive. :)
