Seeding Process

This is how were are doing our seeds this year. Its a 3 step process. The main reason for doing things this way is due to our house is still on the market. This way the seed are done in smaller batches.

First Step.

The picture is showing 3 of our 5 small Jiffy seed starters. We chose these due to there size and ability to sit in a window seal. Each one can hold 10 seed starter peat pot pellets. Once the germinate and can reach the top of the container, they are then transferred to step 2.

Second Step

The seedlings get put into a peat pot cup and placed into this container where they will continue grow. The reason for these containers is that when we want to put the lid on it we can and it will recycles the water inside. The same effect as when they where in the jiffy mini greenhouses. This helps in preventing them from drying out if we forget to check up on them. This does create a LOT of humidity inside. We have found by trial and error that continuous use of the lid is to humid for the new plants inside. Once the next group of "Step One" is done, this group of step two now move on to step three.

The Third

Waiting..... Waiting.... That's all this step is. They are actually in cookie sheets waiting for their time to be planted. The cookie sheets work nicely for use because we can just put water in the bottom of the sheet and the peat pot absorbs the water. This prevents me from have to water each individual plant.

I will be able to post up what all we have planted later, once i have check in with my planting coordinator. (aka my wife) :)
