As you know I have planted some containers full of dill, alyssum, and some wildflowers. I also have some lettuce and spinach growing in the cool cellar under lights. These are the only plants I have growing indoors as of yesterday. I decided that yesterday was a perfect time to start planting many more seeds that I need to give a head start.
Getting most of my plants into the windowsill for maximum light exposure which all my flowers need before going outside. It has been some warm days recently and I probably could have put my spinach, lettuce, and all cool weather plants outside. Instead I kept them inside under lights for now. It won’t be too long until I set up my table and start bringing all kinds of plants outdoors.
I have a tray that has 72 cells where I can start planting all kinds of seeds. I have many types of peppers that I needed to plant yesterday and these cells definitely came in handy for this reason. I have literally five different varieties that I am looking forward to grow especially all the spicy peppers. I even planted some of the sweeter ones as well which make for great salads and sauces. The hot types will be used mainly for salsa hopefully.
I also have another tray full of other vegetables and some flowers. I knew I wanted to get eggplant started and hopefully don’t grow so many plants as last year. Six small containers are what I stuck with this year and that should be plenty of plants as long as the seeds sprout in the soil. Some sun king hybrid broccoli is what I plan on growing the whole season so I planted some of these seeds in containers.
I also bought some more raspberries this year and looking forward to planting them in the garden. I need to place them in a tray of water in order to get them out of their dormant state before planting them in a container or the ground. Once they start growing roots and producing leaves I can then take them out of the tray and get them ready for soil.
