I wrote last week we were planning to start from seed all our tomato and pepper starts. In the course of 2 days Anna and I started 3600 peppers and 3700 tomatoes. We want about 3400 total starts of each and the extra is insurance if some seeds don’t germinate or the plants don’t make it to the the end of May when we will transplant them. The tomatoes sprouted out of their small cell containers in the course of 5 days, which is pretty good, and the peppers will take about a week or ten days. Referring to the seedlings Anna says, “They’re babies.” I guess that’s true - they need warmth and protection from the wind and chilly nights and they have to be watered every other day for the next 6 weeks until we put them in the ground. So we’ll keep you posted until then on how our little green kids are doing and we’ll find out what kind of horticultural parents we are.
