There are plant stakes/labels in the three farthest pots. As views the pots are 3 wide and two deep. The left column is Red Marconi, center is Jalapeno, and right is California Wonder.A square cropped photo showing 3 heavy duty plastic zip bags that contain capsicum seeds. They are labeled and the two lower bag labels are visible through the bags stacked on top but offset vertically. There are hundreds of seeds in each bag that are generally a dark cream colored.A square cropped photo looking at the end of the tray with planted seeds, it has a clear cover placed on top and a dial probe thermometer placed into the clear cover with it's tip resting on the first row of pots. The thermometer has a green zone to represent good worm compost temperature I think and has a cartoon worm in the middle. There is a smaller NSF food safety type thermometer on top of the clear tray cover. The bench top they are sitting on is blue and plastic. The background is silver reflective covered fiberglass cloth.A square cropped closeup photo of the thermomter.
