Peppers and Tomatoes


We just finished up setting our remaining flats of tomatoes and peppers to germinate. We set the seeds at 2 -3 times their seed size for seed depth and tried to put 2 seeds in each 2x2 cell. We learned a few tricks this time to speed the process. The longest processes is getting the potting soil to absorb enough water. This time Sara used a spray bottle and blasted water into each cell that was filled with potting mix. That was a big time saver and the process flew.
If things keep to plan like the last run we should have the tomatoes up in a week and peppers following. While we were setting our seeds we watched as a late March snow fell outside.
