The grow along challenge
Every season we pick one pepper and grow it together, from seed to harvest, across every kind of space and climate. You plant, you share a photo each month, and you watch a hundred versions of the same plant take wildly different paths. Beginners welcome, that is the whole point.

- Join The Heat Sheet. Every challenge runs through it, with monthly prompts and progress from the group.
- Plant the season’s pepper. Any pot, any spot, any skill level.
