Week 0 - Part 1


Yesterday I planted about half of the tomato seeds due to the fact I didn't buy enough Jiffy-Pots. Here's how I planted the seeds:
2) Dampen the soil with water.
3) Make a small hole about 1/4 inch (1 centimeter) deep.
4) Add seed.
5) Rake a little soil in hole and cover with a little more potting mix.
6) Water a bit more and then sit in sun.
All went as planned until I missed counted the number of Jiffy-Pots I needed and then it rained (poured) all night into the next day.
I try and use the biggest pot at first (Jiffy-Pot 5) because I don't like transporting my plants in to bigger pots. These pots are bio-degradable but I plan on pealing the shell off before planting again or for good.
Planted so far: Aussie, Black Cherry, Black Krim, Brandywine, Dagma's Perfection
