They look so interesting! I love seeing all the different varieties of peppers.
Our last frost date is April 30. We had been having such warm weather that we got antsy to plant tomatoes and peppers outdoors a couple of weeks ago. One pepper was a red Big Bertha.
And then we got an unexpected night in the 30's and they all died.
Aerogardens are wonderful. No worries about when to plant cool or hot season plants!

Familiar. Perhaps it’s a requirement to be an AG addict? 🤷♂️

One of the two pods looks like it has germinated but the other one not so sure. But I forgot to write which plant is which  . So I took a sot and planted one seed of what I think it is. Here is hoping I selected the correct one. |

I know I have to refer back to my original post for notes and/or the template that I posted, like a "note to self"? I have a feeling these are going to be spectacular peppers and they will be exactly the kind you'll enjoy most!  |

Oh, Shawn, I am so sorry!
Gardening does teach us to roll with the punches. Even when we hate it!

Big Bertha started to germinate. However I think it stalled. Nothing much happening besides the start of a tiny sprout that I think may have died off. I need to further investigate.
The Numex Suave Orange is almost at the label. So that will survive, or so I hope.
More when it emerges.

Big Bertha is growing and my Suave has a root starting. Taking a long time but am looking forward to it.
