i have the one in 36 cells, its pretty cheap quality but i guess ill see if it does the job. if it doesnt work i still have more seeds

I almost bought that - they had them right next to the peat pots at the Home Depot in seekonk. But I got the peat pots instead - seemed like it would be easier cause I just just leave them on to transplant. Didn't find out until later they don't really decompose well, so they're really no easier. Still, its organic, so I don't have the plastic tray to throw away when I'm done...

I got the wife one of those to plant her flowers in...not a burpee but same color and it had peat pellets in the bottom...I figured it would be easier for her that way and you know what...she has a bunch of flower sprouts......

That's nothing, So far only my tobacco has sprouted so I sit there watching bare dirt in hopes of encouraging the rest to sprout. Bare DIRT!

*gasp*


Not Bare Dirt! Say it ain't so!



Yeah, ok, so I found bare dirt to be pretty darn attractive yesterday when I got through weeding the tomato garden in preparation for tilling.

* holds up thumb*

See, I even worked up a blister.

Awww, cute little thing.

Tilling the dirt already, I'm jealous. We still have snow on the ground.

Early plant out is in two weeks. I'll probably hold off on the peppers until mid-April in case we have a late freeze like last year.
