So, to make salsa, those tomatoes and onions are going to need some peppers, right?
Last year I just grew bell peppers. They are a staple in our house. My 9 plants did very well, producing plenty for us (we’re still eating them from the freezer!), and plenty for my co-worker and in-laws to take home too!
But I didn’t have any hot peppers in my garden. So this year we’ll have jalapenos too.
I started 9 seeds of each. Peppers like it hot (ha!), so I put them on my heating pad when I’m at home to help them germinate. It seemed to help, they finally sprouted after about 9 days.
All 9 of the bell peppers sprouted, although one looks like it might not make it. Only 8 of the jalapenos sprouted. That’s fine, I only plan to plant 3-4 of those myself anyway (I’m sure my dad will take my extras!).
