Chef,
What growing media are you using? I'm just curious because my Burpee tray came with some pellets, but I'm not sure if they'd be good for germination. I certainly don't want to waste them.

I bouth these pellets at Lowes. Trays and pellets were about 8 bucks. I started the seeds last saturday, and you see todays results.

I have ued these trays several times, they are burpee brand
