Growing My Own Produce

I was recently chopping some red and green peppers recently and thought, "Wonder if I could root some of these seeds and grow some bell pepper plants?" After all, bell peppers can be pricey--especially the red, yellow and orange varieties.

Right after I cut the peppers in half, I put the seeds in a cup of water. They started rooting within a week (to my amazement!). Once the roots were fairly well established, I transferred the best-looking ones (with a hint of green to them) to a pot of soil. Two took...we'll see how they do.I'm hoping I'll have a couple bell pepper plants come summer!

Speaking of, I'm determined to have a vegetable garden next year. To be continued...
