update: got the peppers into their peat pods for germination. i did some kale and spinach too. I put all this in on March 30th. None of the peppers have sprouted, but ALL of the spinach pods have growth, lol. i would say that on about the 3rd day, the first of the spinach had sprouted. i was fairly impressed it came up quick. I will provide pictures once my first pepper starts sprouting. im kinda wanting to see what variety will sprout first...
