I may be starting a little early but when it’s time to plant the garden I want to have decent sized plants to put out. And I have lots of new plants to try this year.
Along with a regular garden I am working on building up a food forest, which is taking me longer than expected. In part because I’m still learning and gathering information and partly because of drought and insects.
I’ve done a lot of work to lessen the issue with insects and have plans to lessen the affects of being in a semi desert location.
For years I’ve used several methods of seed sprouting my seeds. The one I’ve just replaced with another that I think will be better was to place a damp paper towel in a zip lock bag.
Now I’m using a Rubbermaid container. I placed my paper towels on the lid and then placed the clear bottom over the top. I think this will be better in the long run.
I probably have a few too many seeds seeing as how I don’t know if these were from a hybrid pepper or not. I would like to sale plants but think with these I’ll settle for trying to sale the peppers themselves, assuming I get good peppers.
The last store bought peppers I started seeds from were true to the pepper they came from, I’m hoping these will be as well.
Where seed planting is concerned I have some ideas on that as well and will share that in another post as I get things set up and ready to go.
If you have any thoughts or ideas on planting or starting seeds. Things that work well for you, please feel free to comment. I’m all about sharing thoughts, knowledge and ideas. Hope you have a great week!
