Question
First time growing peppers from seed — 3 weeks in and barely sprouted. Room temp is 68°F, could that be the issue?

Living in a 400 sq ft apartment, I thought growing my own food was impossible. Six months later I have herbs, tomatoes and lettuce on my windowsill 🌿

Absolutely incredible flavor — rich, complex, slightly smoky. The best tomatoes I've ever grown. Will order every year.

Great germination rate — 28 out of 30 seeds sprouted. Plants are vigorous and already setting fruit.
