Ella and I started a few seeds last week. I was getting frustrated because every time I checked on them the starting mix was dry as a bone. I kept spraying with the bottle per Martha's instructions and they would dry out within an hour. Then it dawned on me- I was supposed to create little greenhouses with plastic cling wrap to keep the moisture in. I hope our seeds aren't doomed. I will wait another week and if nothing starts to sprout we will just start over again. I'm glad our first trials were done with seeds for dianthus, a few herbs and my peppers. All those can be bought started at a plant nursery if they are a total flop. My tomatoes seeds will need to get going in another week or two so I have to figure out the system prior to that because all those varieties are heirlooms and not often found started because most people prefer to grow the disease/weather hardy hybrids. Keep your fingers crossed that my seeds sprout!
