The beginning

...of the tomatoes.

I planted the seeds in something called a "Propamatic 24" seed propagator thing, which consists of a water reservoir, a capillary watering pad, a tray for the seeds, and a lid. It's self watering--I just need to add water once every five days, along with any fertilizer. Set it up outside, since the week promises days in the 70s/80s and nights in the 50s/60s.







So technical.

I will need to construct some sort of cage/lid to keep out the birds and squirrels because the plastic lid comes off after the seeds sprout.

I haven't started plants from seed in years. It's a lot of work, but it's even more satisfying than starting a garden from established seedlings.

I hope at least a few of them take.
