It'll be awhile yet before I see peppers sprout. Everybody does things different, but this seed starting method works real well for me. Years ago I super-glued plastic egg carton halves down on pieces of 3/8" plywood, two by two - that makes them real easy to handle and carry without spilling. I poked a small drain hole in the bottom of each cell and marked beside the cells with a pen "A" board 1 through 24 and "B" board 1 through 24. The cells are full of damp Jiffy Mix and I keep the list of what's planted in what cells on a spreadsheet. Yes, I've got it on paper too just in case. |
