Our Herbs that we seeded on Sunday, March 17th have started to sprout already!
The Basil and Thyme are popping up.
This shot was taken on Wed., Mar 20th; the first day I noticed any activity...

On Friday, March 22; 5 days after seeding these herbs, this is what the Basil and Thyme look like : )
Still no activity from the Rosemary and Sage. The spray bottle shown is what we use (on mist) to keep the "soil" moist. We not only spray the soil itself, but the inside of the lid to the container the plants are kept in to help keep the condensation within the container.

On Monday, March 18th, we soaked the seeds for the peppers and cherry tomatoes the were dried out on Tuesday and Planted in the egg tray on Wednesday. The Spinach and Broccoli were soaked on Tuesday, dried out on Wednesday and planted on Thursday. This is the setup we have hiding beneath the clear plastic cover from the deli tray. I poked holes into the Styrofoam to hold the Popsicle sticks the names are written on in Sharpie marker. I seldom have much luck with peppers from seed, so am really hoping using this seed soak from Jerry Baker will help me to have better luck with my seeds... We shall see what happens in the coming weeks : ) We still have 6 openings to add more seed in a week or so once the sprouts have begun to show up. This will allow for a secondary planting to harvest after the first batch of broccoli or spinach comes in, or maybe to add our Roma or Beefsteak Tomatoes when we get those seeds... have not yet decided..
