Spring seed starting kit.

cjp1953 · January 9, 2016

Was at WalMart this morning and seen some Jiffy peat pots in their greenhouse kit.36 large plugs for under $12.I'm going to start them in this after come spring.They had a nice selection of Burpee seeds.I only need some Jalapeno seed and Early Girl seed and Thai Dragon pepper seed and I'm good to go.With these days now getting longer I'm starting to get excited.

I stopped by Wall-Mart for the sole purpose of looking for seeds the other day.
It looked like a bomb went off in the garden section nothing out.
But they did have some onion bulbs all it said was yellow red or white onion nothing else.
Who the heck wants that.
What I am looking for is radicchio seeds and cant find any.

Will go out again today and look but by the time they get everything out it will be too late for Texas.

I wouldn't worry about it, it looks like a good place to me.
Heck there is a long thread about lettuce in the general discussion section for tomatoes.

They had a very small spot set up for this.Come spring it will expand greatly.This store was turned into a super WalMart a few years ago and does a great business.

I'm going to start my seeds in wet paper towels and then plant them in the plugs.This way I know what seeds germinated.

Curious what time of year you start with you being North of me. I'm thinking about starting from seed this year myself. Haven't done it in years.

Pepper seed will start mid March and tomato seeds mid April.Planting last week of May.With this mild winter weather I don't know what spring will be like.

Worth, I have a small amount if you want it. I grew it last year. It grew well but it was the first time I'd ever eaten the stuff and I found I don't care for it.

I was out today but it was so crowded I came home.
Let me look tomorrow and I will get back with you.
I love the stuff bitter herbs go very well with a good non bitter beer.
It sounds like I am an alcoholic some times here but trust me I'm not.

Went into Wal to get some 18x3'' tray kits (were best best last year), and they were still in the move Christmas and put the garden center back in bombed mode also. They didn't have the ones I was looking for, but had the jiffy 72 cell peat kits for a $1. Closing out ?? At that price, I brought 2 cases and will use for trays and domes.
