One of the few pepper pods showing, bell peppers. I planted 5 to a box, with 3 of them being conjoined. I also added a vermicompost bin and to my surprise, the peppers have responded really well to that method as well as to my Amaranth + Basil.

I'm a bit behind on my pepper plants this season so im looking to catch up by planting more seeds this month, mainly from the grocery store bell peppers.

Some say they dont fruit or are bad, but honestly its worth a shot. Sounds like what Big Seed wants us to believe lol

I have more content on TikTok, Deku Farms if y'all care to follow ๐Ÿ’š

The reason supermarket pepper seeds may not fruit or be stunted/weird is because the fruit is almost always picked young before the seeds get to full viability. Pepper fruit needs to be almost wilting before the seeds will be mostly viableand more potent.
