I finally managed to start my seeds last week (there was quite the meltdown about money to fix the cars, and how starting seeds saves us money on plants and whatnot) and they’re germinating nicely. I skipped the peppers, since they take a lot longer to germinate, but there are tomatoes, brussel sprouts, tomatillos, basil, lemon balm, cilantro, and marigolds all planted. I’m trying the newspaper cup thing to save some money on buying the biodegradable ones at the store, and so far I’m pretty happy with it.
We’ll end up buying peppers and eggplant and maybe a few other plants to fill things in, but it’s a good start so far.
