    🌱Growing With Ben🌱 ~ The Chonicles of the Troublesome Seeds

    Strawberry plants are much smaller than pepper plants. They probably don't need a pot bigger than 6" across even at their biggest, and should be fine in smaller ones while they are young. They also do fine sharing space with each other, as long as there is enough total space. Strawberry plants...

    I've forgotten what kind of seeds you put in that pot. If cherry seeds fell on the ground outside, they would expect to wait all winter before sprouting the next spring. Since they've only been in your firdge for 2 months, I'm not surprised that nothing has happened yet.

    Since the package says "roasted," I will join you in guessing they will not sprout.

    🌱Growing With Ben🌱 ~ The Chonicles of the Troublesome Seeds

    Two ways I've done when I had too many seedlings near each other: Take a whole clump out of the dirt, untangle all the roots, and put each one in its own pot. Most of them seem to survive that pretty well, although I've certainly had a few die. It can help to use something pointy to help dig...

    If you want them to all be happy, healthy plants: Yes, individual pots. They can have small pots at first, but within a few months they will do best if each pepper has a pot about 1 foot each way (length, width, and height). Of course bigger pots are fine too. Or you can pick the best one, or...

    From the red pepper, they are probably viable. I would just pick the seeds out of the pepper, sit them in a bowl or something to dry, and wait until January or so to start trying to grow them. That gives you a better chance of having the outside weather warm enough when the plant is too big...

    Of the 27 votes so far, I notice at least 20 votes each for: cucumber, tomato, pepper, squash, and zucchini. All of those like to grow in very similar conditions, so it's not surprising that they are often found in the same gardens. If you had included cool-weather crops like broccoli and peas...

    Nope, I've never made pickles, with or without dill. But I like fresh dill in green salads, and omelettes, and some soups, and cooked on some kinds of fish. I don't think I've ever gotten around to drying dill to save for later, but I have sometimes dried other herbs, and I may dry dill at...

    It might grow. The main point about seedless oranges is that they have no seeds, or almost no seeds. So you will get a lot more seeds per orange if you find ones that are not supposed to be seedless. They need to get older on the parent plant, not sitting around after being picked.

    🌱Growing With Ben🌱 ~ The Chonicles of the Troublesome Seeds

    Did you try just putting the seeds in a pot with some other plant, and leaving them to do their own thing? I'm pretty sure I had success with that at some point in the past. The reason for putting them in with another plant is so they get watered (because I'm better at watering plants than I am...
