I planted some seeds inside, in hopes of an early start for spring. Mostly tomatoes. :)
This is my high tech seed starting space.
Yes, in case you weren't quite sure, that's the top of my stove. Well, it has a light, and might be a bit warmer than other places. :)
Plus, you'll note they're in containers, so easy to move if I actually decide to cook something.
The cups are new this year, based on suggestion from a master gardener. There are slits cut on either side of the bottom for drainage.
The box on the left contains seeds I started on a wet paper towel in a cake pan covered with plastic wrap. When it works, I rather prefer this method, as you can really see when the seeds start sprouting. Once they get some leaf going, you can move them into the dirt. The 5 on the left are bunching onions - really just as easy to direct sow, but I was playing. The two on the right are a couple of kohlrabi, and the upper left is from the other batch I just started.
Next up, I'd like to get some peppers started...
