Last night I got some more seeds started. Bell peppers and tomatillos are now in the ground. Since the tomatillo seeds are from last year, I'm a little apprehensive that they will actually sprout. I've been told that seeds up to a few years old will still sprout, but I can't remember if I've ever tried it before.
I followed the same method as always.
- First I put the peat plugs in the mini-greenhouse and pour a lot of really warm water on them to make them grow.
- Then I use a chopstick to poke holes to the required depth of the seed (which varies).
- Set the seeds in place.
- With the chopstick, gently push the seeds into the holes to the required depth.
- Loosely cover each seed with some of the peat.
- Label the cells so you know what's growing in what spot. This is particularly important if you're growing multiple varieties of the same type of plant.
