And...I bought a little starter kit. I know - it's sort of cheating but I'm brand new at this and I wanted to give these guys a fighting chance. ;-) I started with the tomatoes.
The greenhouse was $12. A little pricey but since I didn't have anything on hand to start the seeds off, I figured it was worth it. The kit has individual pellets.
I poured water over them and waited for them to expand.
After waiting about an hour, it was time to sow my seeds. The kit recommended 2-3 seeds per pellet.
Then it was time to cover.
The next day, there was a little condensation on the lid -
So, I hope that means that they are doing their thing. Craig and I are pretty excited about this project - we eat a lot of tomatoes in this house. And it will be so nice to pick one from the backyard when we want one!
Fresh vine ripened home grown tomatoes are the BEST. In my sandy soil in Oklahoma I just stuck plants in the ground and picked them when they were ripe. In HOT! HOT! HOT! north Texas with it's clay filled soil, I've tried every way I can think of to growntomatoes and I finally gave up. :( I hope you have a bountiful harvest!
