After about 10 days gestating in their damp baggie of wet towels (which I think is also a Slipknot album), my salsa seeds looked like this.

Rooty-tooty-pepper-shooties. |
I c...a...r...e...f...u...l...l...y extracted all of my seeds from the paper towels. They had grown through the paper in many places, and I couldn't risk damaging the tender roots. Here's what they looked like when I had successfully freed them all.

Out with the sprouts. |
Anyway, while my seeds were a-sprouting, my planters had arrived. They're adorable, and they fit perfectly on my teeny-weeny balconeeny.

They look like wooden casks, but they're actually lightweight resin, because no way was I hauling wood from my car to the balcony. |

The pokerizer is otherwise know as my salad fork, but don't tell the garden club. Or the people who come over and eat my salads. |
And then we proceeded to get four straight days of Texas Spring rain. Those bitches are watered.
And now I wait. Wait for those wonderful green leafy bastards to pop out of the soil as if to say, "Hi, Mama! I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper!"
Maybe I do need professional help.
Stay tuned. At the rate we're going, these damn pepper plants may live longer than any of us.
Why wouldn't the roots emerge first? That's normal for every seed that ever was.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems to counter-intuitive. Like a breech birth. Where's the heeeaad?
DeleteI just read that seed companies now have major backlogs. You'll be eatin' salsa while other peoples' seeds are still sprouting!
