It will be interesting to compare how productive they will be.
Both sound delicious!

Both peppers are up (will get  later this morning).
I thought I would have to restart the Candy Cane one as both seeds come up with the casings attached. One of which fell off with the leaves, the other casing came off without damage.

You will see on the first one where the stuck on casing took the leaves with it Teh second one the tips of the leaves are dark from the casing as well.   |

Those are just the baby leaves. Hope the permanent leaves come in strong!

I was getting nervous because the leaves are striped on the Candy Cane Red. But then looking at the pictures they DO get striped so I am not worrying. Here is a picture of the two now. |

Striped leaves sounds like they'll be cool-looking plants!

Added nutes a few days early. I wanted to keep this side on the same schedule as the other.

"both seeds come up with the casings attached."
I didn't know what the seed casting was called until now. I have a tomato with one stuck right in the middle of the stem. I keep waiting for it to fall off (even flicked it a bit), but it seems to be surrounding the stem. It's two weeks old. Think that tomato seeding will die?
