I had given up on the Sweet Heat pepper (on the left) germinating. But it's finally up!

Maybe the Sweet Heat needed a little extra time to figure out that it wasn't a petunia? 😄

The seasoning celery is coming up. No sign of the Sweet Heat yet. It may be too cool for them.

This area of the kitchen stays dark enough to be depressing. So today I planted two seeds of Sweet Heat peppers in one pod, which I will divide if they both come up, and several seasoning celery seeds which I will probably move to Kratky later. And now I have a bright corner!
