Since last year’s square-foot garden was so successful (lettuce was still growing through January), I’ve planted this year’s garden several weeks ago. Everything has sprouted and growth is exceeding expectations. Except for the bell peppers. Absolutely nothing. Until this evening I figured it was just a failed crop. But I found that the seed packet hadn’t been opened yet. I had forgotten to plant the peppers.
Note for the future: Something must be planted in order for it to grow.
