Another bonsai person? Cool....I'm diving in head first to this hobby. I started about 20 of them this winter.

Where do you guys buy your seeds? Organic seeds are little harder to find. I think I found mine at Home Depot. I was too late to order some GMO Free seeds.....next year I will order them. You are aware that almost every seed you buy, including organic seeds, are in some way, genetically modified, right? The old farmers harvested seed from the best and strongest of their crop, ignoring the weaker, lower production plants, thereby modifying the genetic makeup of the seed that is now being sold and planted. That's not the genetic modified I am worried about. The stuff they are doing with GMO is scary. No thanks! Organic is just that.....grown naturally without fertilizer. I prefer neither one.

"Organic" refers to the way the plants are grown (with/without pesticides and chemical fertilizers).
G(enetically)M(odified)O(rganisms) are those that have had their genes altered in order to be more disease/insect resistant , produce more abundantly . etc.

You look at the condition of American's the last 30 years and you start to wonder....where did we go wrong as a society. GMO is banned in many European countries...apparently they know more than we do.

Moved my habaneros and reapers outside today . Just now started my tomatoes . February in Texas . Bonnie plants are out at Lowes and HD, for a super cold winter....they sure got them out early. I don't and won't buy Bonnie plants BTW.

I don't and won't buy Bonnie plants BTW. They grow those in hot houses (heated greenhouses), so the super cold winter doesnt affect their growth. But they sure arent acclimated when there is a late cold snap. Im not a fan of Bonnie either, but for reasons that are different than yours.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

Yes, of course they grow them in greenhouses. LOL! They aren't Super Man of Nature. I just thought it was early for them to have their store fronts full of them......but I did learn HD does not own the plants(all of them, not just Bonnie)....they are "leased"....until they are sold....so HD doesn't care if they live or die. It's not their dime. That is why you don't find sales very often at HD.

Ok I lied. I got bored and started some seed using the paper towel method tonight. As they mention and I've read this a lot some pepper seeds could take a month to sprout put in soil and this should speed up the process. So the ones I have in the soil could and probably will still sprout. This is what I did. I put my on top of my DVR. It puts off a lot of heat. This has worked great on my Cayenne seeds so far. 5 days in and had 4 that had sprouted as of yesterday and I transferred to soil. So far the Tabasco seeds haven't sprouted but should any day now I think.
