Pepper Seed Germination

Kirstie and I are still waiting on our peppers to sprout. I did a little research today to see when Sweet Banana Peppers, California Wonder Peppers, and Jalapeño Peppers are supposed to sprout. Unfortunately, the website we bought the seeds from didn't have any information on this and I had to look at other sites.

Many said Pepper seeds can take anywhere from one week to three months to sprout, but we do not have a month to wait on them. The websites I looked at also said that during germination time, we are supposed to keep the Pepper seeds at 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit, which we haven't been doing. With a temperature lower than this you can't expect the seeds to sprout quickly. Another interesting fact I learned is that the hotter the Pepper, the longer the seed takes to sprout.

Other than research, I watered our Pepper plants, then our class took an awesome nature hike. : )
