Hey y’all 🌱 Today on the Laid-Back Homestead I’m starting over with my pepper seeds after some serious germination struggles. Hopefully this time we’ll have better luck! I’m planting all of my backup pepper varieties using my simple paper towel + black tea method to encourage faster sprouting. Before seed starting, I’m sharing a small spring seed haul with new tomatoes, beans, melons, squash, flowers, and a few fun new varieties I’m excited to try in the 2026 garden. From colorful peppers and salsa dreams to heat-free jalapeños and container squash, we’re getting everything ready for a productive growing season. If you’ve ever had trouble with pepper germination, you’re not alone — send some good juju for these seeds 🌶️ What’s your go-to trick for getting peppers to sprout?
