In the end, I wimped out and instead of just thinning, separated my tangled seedlings carefully among 4 trays and 4 pots. Now I have 40 viable Italian finger pepper (twisty chili) seedlings growing and room for max 2–4 chili plants in my garden when the spring comes (unless I abandon everything else), so I'm trying to find other suckers gardeners to take some from me.I'm make a lousy heartless Greek or Norse god.#gardening #Ottawa #peppers #chilis
