Indoor garden trays


After soaking and sprouting in jars for 24 hours, we planted the seeds in small cafeteria trays (you can find them on Amazon). Here is a view of the seeds after being "planted". The extra tray that is leaning up behind the seeds will be used to cover them for the first three days as they take root. The seeds are spritzed with a spray bottle once or twice day until the root gets established.

Last night, I organized my garden seeds into five categories:
1) Start indoors in February/March (parsley, broccoli, cabbage, kale)
2) Sow outside as early as soil can be worked (peas)
3) Start indoors in late March/April (tomatoes, peppers, basil, lettuce)
4) Sow outside around last frost (carrots, beets, lettuce)
5) Sow outside when soil has warmed (squash, melon, beans, chard)
