I just started up my peppers on the 11th doing the paper towel germination thing. Started having tails popup on the 15th and many more are coming. Already planted over 100 germinated seeds in 72 cell jiffy trays and I already have bunch of baby plants. Will update with what I'm starting along with pics once I get onto a computer.

Here's my 2013 Gardening Album on facebook. All the pics I'm posting here are also there as well.

I apologize in advance for the huge pics.

Just a quick update. Woke up this morning and have tons more seedlings pushing through the soil. Will get pics posted by this weekend since I have to work all day tomorrow :(
 
Okay, a better update.

I am starting seeds in my basement, which is quite cold, so I decided to make my own heating mat using 2 incandescent rope light sets I bought before Christmas, a huge piece of foam insulation board and 2 small drywall pieces which cover the setup perfectly. I got my inspiration from here

I started my seeds on February 11th on layers of paper towels inside of covered jiffy trays-I have everything marked in pen to what they are:

On 2/15/13, I noticed my first seeds with tails! I planted them in 72 ct jiffy trays with my own seed starting blend I came up with after researching and advice from local gardening friends. The mix consists of 50 % composted manure, the other 50 % consists of equal parts of peat humus, perilite and vermiculite.
