Dear Diary, it’s been 6 long days since I planted that se — WHAT IS THAT?!?!

I know peppers take forever to germinate but the wait is equal parts annoying and exciting.

This morning I noticed my 1st (and only) super hot popped up! It’s a 7 pot brain strain red and it germinated in 6 days, planted on Monday Jan. 27. Seed from white hot peppers. I didn’t soak or use the paper towel method.

Just wanted to share because I am very excited and I needed to tell someone other than my kids who just glanced at it with the same expression on their face that I used to have when my grandad showed me his “cool” stamps.
