After poring over multiple different possible growlists, I finally got my seeds started. It was torturous eliminating varieties from my list, but I am already putting together a 2013 list of all the seeds I didn't get to start this year. Some seeds I started in groups of 4, and plan on giving away all but one plant from each variety to friends and neighbors. In the end, I plan on growing out 30 plants (20 in the ground, 10 in pots.)

I set Feb. 15 as my deadline to get going and at 1am this morning, I put the last seed in it's peat pot. 25 hours prior, I soaked the seeds in weak chamomile tea/hdrogen peroxide using this ratio.

I took this next photo this morning. My smart little labels did not hold up well under the humidity of the dome I had them under. I did make a chart in case my labels fall apart.

Also, I tested the temp and they were at 88 degrees, so I took the dome off and will check the temp again later. My dad got me a Jiffy 72 pellet starter kit that included a heat mat and that's what I'm using.

Thanks Aji Joe, Wayright, hot stuff, Peppermeister, chris-w, stc3248, and the folks of Seed Train 2012 for all the great seeds! I feel like I'm sitting on a gold mine right now!

More later. Cheers!

Cruising through my neighborhood recently, I noticed a couple dried up pepper plants in a neighbor's yard. Then I saw the guy in his garage last week and asked him about the peppers, and found out they were a Jalapeno and a Hab. He was planning on planting more this season and said he likes hot peppers. I told him I'd bring him some plants. So, today I'm taking him these guys, a Buht, Billy Boy Douglah, and a Preuvian White Hab:

Also, I'm leaving town until Monday night, so I watered all my plants and raised the lights a bit. I don't have a fan yet, but I opened one of my closet doors a couple feet to let in fresh air. I think they'll be okay.

3 plants in containers of that size, on a bicycle, is a dangerous prospect. Have fun on your trip.
