b54red · February 22, 2010

I started my first peppers 1/9/ 2010, my first tomatoes 1/15 and my second batch of tomatoes 1/28. I had 16 varieties that didn't germinate at all and another 20 or so that only got one or two seedlings. This was a really cold year and my greenhouse stayed too cold even though I used a gas heater for several nights but cost is very high and still had poor germination. Now that it is warming up I'll replant about 35 varieties and some others that I haven't tried to start yet in the next week or so.
