Mini Greenhouse Seed Starter - seedlings

Planting season is about to commence!

seedlings 2014

The vegetable garden is tilled, 

the early seeds were planted - 

sugar peas, beets and the 

strawberry plants are looking good!

But there is still much to do!

seedlings - peppers, tomatoes, zucchini 2014

We did start some seeds indoor 

these last few weeks.

The tomatoes (Beefsteak & Big Red cherry) 

were the first to sprout their little leaves 

with the zucchini/squash soon after.

The peppers took their full 

two weeks to appear.

Seed Starter Kit 2014 - seedlings

These seedlings are from the 

Dollar Store 25¢ seed packets 

I bought mid-March, along with

this plastic 72 cell seed starter 

mini-greenhouse.

the how-to

My daughter & I filled the cells

with regular potting soil, placed 

a toothpick into one of the cells

for reference then sprinkled our

seeds being careful to record 

placement of each in our 

Garden Journal.

We watered the soil until it was

saturated, put on the clear plastic

lid and placed the mini-greenhouse

on top of the refrigerator.

When more than half of the seedlings

started to appear, we placed the 

greenhouse on a table with indirect

sunlight. A few days later, we 

removed the plastic lid and set 

the plants under a southern facing

skylight and that's where they are

now, growing up & growing strong.

Our last frost date for our region

is a few days away, so we'll see

how well the plants are doing before

transitioning them outside.

Do you grow your own veggies?

Have you ever started seeds indoors?
