Day 28: Catching Up (a lot happened)

Sorry that we have not been able to post for the past few weeks. Not to fret, the pepper seeds did not die. In fact they have been successfully germinated for a little over two weeks now! We removed the seeds from our "contraption" and placed them about one inch under the soil in our planter. The sprouts broke the surface in a day or two and are now about three to four inches tall. Daily maintenance includes 14 hours of artificial light (or windowsill sunlight when available) and approximately 16 fluid ounces of water a day. We also mist the plants periodically throughout the day to prevent over-drying of the leaves under the heat lamp. We promise to keep you updated from here on out!
