Getting my garden ready for planting jalapenos from seeds

Tweet

I have a long backyard mulch space that is full of decomposed composted leaves, grass, old tree branches, mixed with bags of dirt I added to it to speed up the process. I then used a garden hoe to scrape off the over growth and then carefully pulled off the overgrowth, then took the hoe again to lose up the dirt and then got on my hands and knees to take the extra time to loosen up the dirt and pull out the rest of the deep rooted overgrowth of wild things. Once completed I used the edge of the hoe to dig two or three rows of dirt. The next day I went to ALDI and bought a pack of fresh jalapeno peppers in a tray for under 50 cents. Once back at the kitchen I cut these jalapeno peppers open along the full length of each in halves. I used a parring knife to dig out the seed pods inside each half and used a plastic tray to gather up the tiny round white seeds until all 8 peppers were cleaned up. Then I let the seeds set over night. I ate half of a pepper with my fried chicken dinner and it was sweet and crunchy. This morning I sprinkled the seeds over the garden, then took a fresh bag of potting soil I got at the Home Depot, sprinkling the dirt evenly like shredded cheese on a pizza top. Then I got back on my hands and knees and gently padded the soil on top with my hands. I was able to save just enough dirt to fill in around a rose bush and a shrub that had exposed roots from a pesky squirrel's digs. Now all I have to do is wait for the rain. It is supposed to rain pretty much all this afternoon.
