I planted these seed 8 weeks ago and I think I should have waited just a bit longer before planting the seeds. lol
I had to transplant these peppers into 1/2-gallon pots today. They're showing good growth, filling out nicely and I counted around 20 buds on this one pepper. the other peppers have at least as many buds.

I disagree! They are SURVIVORS!!
I planted (late) sweet peppers from seed in 2021.
Somehow 17 of them ended up surviving in a smallish rectangular container that lived in the shade until I brought them inside.
I Think 3 of them survived both the over wintering and transplanting and produced for me.
They were ALL terribly potbound and THEY DIDN'T CARE!!
Just keep a deep dish underneath and keep them watered until they can go out and play in your garden.

Beautiful shots of the pepper roots and foliage Growin-Stuff. What is the variety? I have some big Stocky Red Roasters and Red Hot Cherry peppers in desperate need of bumping up. It is difficult to keep on top of things at this time of the year.
