Christmas 2020 Planting

On December 23rd, I planted more.

- purchased Ghost pepper seeds. 
 
- purchased Jamaican Red Hot seeds. [A little research suggests that these are actually a red Scotch Bonnet.]
 
- purchased yellow Scotch Bonnet. [I've recently learned that these are twice as hot as habaneros. Half the heat of Ghost.]
 
- Ed Hume chili variety pack. ["Included, depending on availability, are cayenne, Hungarian wax, serrano, habenero, hot cherry, and other hot chile types."] I'm thankful for more moderate heat in the pepper mix. 
 
- also started some spinach and lettuce, and some flowers for in the greenhouse.

December 2010: the 2021 Garden Begins

First week of December, planted some peppers.
- Ghost peppers from seeds left over from dehydrating.
 
- Lemon Drop from dehydrator seeds 
 
- Purple Serrano from fresh peppers 
 
- Ghost peppers from very fresh peppers 
 
- Fresno peppers (jalapeƱo variety) from seeds I'd saved. 
 
- Habanero from seeds I'd saved 

Fresh Ghost pepper seeds sprouted immediately. 
 
Fresh Serrano and saved Fresno also sprouted quickly.
