Sowing Seeds indoors

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.
