Germinating New for 2013

It's time to germinate our additions to Alejandro Pepper Farm. After last seasons flop of growing the Tangerine Dreams and Tomatoes we decided to play bigger for these two plants. We'll be giving away several of our Serrano Peppers plants and making way for these Tangerine Dream. We did however managed to get two Tangerine peppers in our yield from very Anemic plants and their taste waste unique and flavorful. We've germinated 30 seedlings today and are excited to watch grow.

 We'll be expanding our farm area to accommodate our tomatoes in a separate area.

Serrano Peppers Two Weeks Later

Two weeks later we have 47 out of 50 Serrano's germinate. Nice germination rate of 94%. We have some late comers arrive and we separated those from the pack. So far so good. These seeds came from Burpee and real pleased with the out come so far.

One of the seeds had fallen off the side when I originally planted them. The seed decided to germinate and was growing off the side of the dirt pouch. Si I transplanted this little guy into a dirt pouch and propped it up with a tooth pick and twisty tie. We'll see how she does.
