Looking very nice. I've not encountered many on here growing Japanese seeds. Do any of the Japanese peppers look similar to the Tepin's (roundish)?

The white balls are terracotta (pottery)...they are atanding in a dish filled with water, and because they're made of clay ...they suck up a lot of water, and the ball creates more surface for the water to evaporate...
just want to create a little bit more moistness...thats all
