I planted a flat of seeds this morning.
Each flat has 72 cells in it, or 6 sets of 12. So to make things easiest, I planted 6 of each kind of 12 seeds today.
6 National Pickling Cucumber
6 Homemade Pickles Cucumber
6 Dwarf Blue Curled Kale (heirloom)
6 Dwarf Green Curled Kale
6 Copenhagen Market Cabbage (heirloom)
6 Tronchuda Cabbage (heirloom variety)
6 Matt's Wild Cherry Tomato
6 Martinos Roma Tomato (heirloom)
6 Sweet Cherry Blend Pepper (heirloom)
6 California Wonder Orange Pepper (heirloom)
6 Sweet Pepper Red Cherry
6 Cardoon Greens (compost pile)
I know, I said I was only going to do 4 of each kind of tomato, but I figure just in case all six seeds don't grow, or I can share the extra's.
The amount of pepper plants is such because we both like peppers and I would love to can some pickled roasted red cherry peppers.
The cucumbers I wasn't too sure about planting so soon, but I figured they would be larger at plant out time. If they don't survive, I know not to plant time indoors so soon next year. We like them for fresh eating, salads and canning.
The cabbage, I will plant a few here and then share the rest or plant them in the garden up at my fathers house.
The cardoon will go near the compost pile and I will use that as "green" to keep the pile going during the summer months.
