Time for planting
I’m sure I’m probably the last one on steemit to have finally received my seeds in the mail. I got my package from Baker Creek yesterday. The excitement is starting! I hope I'm not taking on too much at once.
Oh yea, that gold one is not from Baker Creek. That was a free one from another website.
Here were the two free seeds that came with. They seem very interesting, but I’m one who judges the food’s taste based on looks, so we’ll see.
I went through my seeds and picked out the ones that say to start inside 8-10 weeks ahead of time. I started those ones today. Our last spring frost is about mid-May. Ten weeks from today gets me to the start of May, so after I transplant them, I may have to use a sheet if it gets too cold. I’ll just have to see how the weather goes.
I also didn’t realize how much room this was going to take up. I don’t have any big south facing windows, so either I will have to order some grow lights or move my seeds as the sun moves around the house.
Here’s the jupiter peppers in the paper towel technique I saw by 
. I told the Big Man about this, and he said the Old Man(his dad) used this technique to test his germination rate for his wheat. I wonder if there’d be any benefit to trying this with any other of my seeds?
