I just realized that I never finished this draft from back on April 17th. I'm going to publish as is, unfinished.....
This year I decided to try and sprout the majority of my plants from seeds. It's much cheaper to buy the seed pack and you can save the seeds you didn't plant in a ziploc bag in a dark place for planting another year.
My first tray was an experiment that I learned quickly from. It's pellets and I planted leek and romaine lettuce. After I discovered the pale, stringy looking romaine I researched and realized that even though I have a bright room, the seedlings weren't getting enough direct light. I think the leeks will survive this but the romaine may not. I also decided that I didn't like the pellets.
Fortunately I learned quickly and got deeper trays to add potting soil too and took my curtains off the windows to get more direct sunlight. I started one tray of 72 with:
- Roma Tomato
- Beefsteak Tomato
- Eggplant
- Basil
- Parsley
- PattyPan Squash
