I didn't get any seeds planted yet, and don't know if I will inside.<br /><br />I am enjoying my new kitchen. I'm almost finished cleaning out the other rooms where I had things I didn't know what to do with. I am having to do some sorting.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-72589877376972616752010-03-27T17:45:07.090-04:002010-03-27T17:45:07.090-04:00I had an elderly neighbor many years ago that star...I had an elderly neighbor many years ago that started her tomato plants in a clump at the end of a row after it was warm enough. She just pulled up a handful, separated and planted them out. They were already hardened off. I keep meaning to try a few.<br /><br />Maybe this year I will remember.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-90392913564761938352010-03-27T10:36:31.872-04:002010-03-27T10:36:31.872-04:00Kris, almost all of my tomatoes have germinated so...Kris, almost all of my tomatoes have germinated so far. I haven't done any other veggies aside from cabbage and they all seem to have germinated. My other summer veggies are direct sown. I don't bother starting beans or squash in containers since they don't transplant well. I do wait until the end of April to sow those, once the soil is warm to at least 55 degrees. It's better if it's even warmer.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-50119369843763409632010-03-27T07:39:54.238-04:002010-03-27T07:39:54.238-04:00Tom, can you give us an estimate on the % of germi...Tom, can you give us an estimate on the % of germination you get when you WS vegs like tomatoes? Or do you have to oversow a lot just to get the number of plants you want? Sometimes I only have maybe 4-5 gift seeds and stick to starting them under lights so I can get at least 2-3 plants out of them.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.com
