Daniel's comment is so true: building can be simple, easy projects

I started out with my kid building bird houses and feeders, using scraps of wood and plywood and a small hammer and small nails

Of course, 😄 permies has a wealth of information on this activity
This page you might have an open tab already 😂

If they are indeed peppers, might you have had compost seeds in your soil? Honestly if they're peppers, that's great! They are short lived perennials so you could keep them as house plants for up to 5 or 6 years. Even if you don't eat peppers, I would be surprised if you don't learn to love the red sweet ones!

Well I 'm following your post and look forward to your Mr Bean Pepper guys!

I think spicy peppers are way better than the sweet peppers

Also I have grown peppers before (but I forgot this is what the seedlings looked like) and they all died to the same kind of bugs i hate bugs so much

Check out spider mites and whitefly

They are the enemy of many who try to grow plants indoors with living soil

The bugs go after the sap, and especially like new growth, but you may see them traveling up from the soil, or going back to lay more eggs

You can either try to start them in sterile soil or try to fight the bugs
There are probably some good discussions about this -- if I recall

Thai peppers from the store -- plant the seeds, or buy a pack past its prime and plant the soft ones whole...

I love Thai peppers -- they will grow in a bucket with holes in the sides along the bottom and can harvest 2 bursting ziplock baggies full out of one seed and one bucket!
And they're medium heat which is enough for me!

For me it was an ongoing battle gently running my fingers over all new pepper growth, obsessively but that did work without having to use natural pesticides. I am hoping to get results from composting marigolds and see if putting that in the soil helps.

Sweet potatos are so cute!

I've tried them but can't get them to overwinter here, although s gardener in Ottawa Ontario put together instructions on how to grow them there using black plastic to keep their feet warm, poking their heads through holes. But Ottawa gets 3 more weeks of growing season than I do, and I had to give up. German rooted parsley works though -- not quite the same, but some of the squash are close in taste to sweet potatoes too -- or that's what I tell myself. All mashed up together it's good, and I have learned to eat what grows!
 
She'll be back. I'm just gonna wait here. With this tiny ad:
