🫑 Pepper
A tough, cold-tolerant bell pepper that actually ripens in our short summer.
📅 Start Date: Immediately. Peppers are slow starters and need the head start.
🌡️ Heat is Key: Unlike the others, peppers love warmth to sprout. Put your tray on top of the fridge or a heat mat until you see green hooks popping up.
🌱 Soil: Use a high-quality soilless mix like Pro-Mix HP.
💧 Watering: Peppers hate "wet feet." Only water when the pot feels light.
⚠️ Warning: If your basement is below 18°C, these peppers will grow very slowly. Try to keep them in the warmest corner of the room.
