Blowing things Up may be exciting but there's lots of wonderful life at some distance from that. Life and growth and change can be wonderfully interesting.

What would the history of life in the Ottoman Empire look like from a non-European perspective?

People walking around, going about their daily activities, interacting with others and with their natural environment - that can be fascinating. We are seeking rewards for what we do: a new toy, a pleasant view, a burrito, a scratch on the back ... The what's and why's of all that, human needs and interests - good stuff .

@AMKuska Has the pepper project lifted off yet or are we still on the launch pad?
just curious.

@Alasgun - Ghost peppers arrived yesterday, we are still waiting for the variety pack containing carolina reapers to get here. He is checking the mail every single day! I'll post pictures of the plant-a-thon when it happens.

I just emailed the people who are supposed to send the reapers. Hopefully we can get it sorted out as the ghost peppers were purchased several days after the reapers and arrived first!

The seed people got back to us very quickly. They are located in Spain, and unfortunately Covid has made their mail system very slow. They said to expect a 15-22 day wait time due to all the troubles with their post office. That means at the longest we'll be waiting until the 14th.

Update: I got tired of waiting for my quarantined seeds to arrive, so I ordered carolina reaper seeds from a different company. They arrived today!! We'll plant them tomorrow and get them set up in the grow tent.

He planted them! Using tweezers and thick gloves just in case the seeds were hot.

Pic didn't post yesterday for some reason

He successfully sprouted one!

Been a while since I updated this thread. Some how, these peppers are not dead and are thriving under my son's ping-ponging between loving care and benign neglect.

He finally decided to pot them up.

Pre-repotting, pics for the rest sloooowly downloading from my phone.
