I've gotten 10 of 12 varieties of peppers to sprout - "Sweet Savor" and "Sweet Cayenne" are the only ones I'm waiting to see if they come up. Yay! #Gardening #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening

So this is my attempt to start pepper seeds in my window in my tiny MN apartment. There are 4 varieties in each jug, with the idea that once they are big enough to pot up individually. #gardening #Zone5 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening

The smartest choice I made with my final peppers of the season was broiling, removing skins, food processing and then freezing ice cube trays of them. Adding them to stuff I make just for one is perfection. #VegetableGardening #gardening #UrbanGardening

#Gardening thread for talking about my #UrbanGardening 2026 plans. First up I plan my whole yard to be #VegetableGardening this year and I plan to give away as much food as possible to my devastated Minneapolis community.
