Greenhouse #1

April 5th
it is 8 weeks before the last frost date for my area so i started my first mini Jiffy greenhouse. Here is what i planted:
  • 3 tomato seeds in 3 pellets for a total of 9 seeds (i will only need 2 plants in the end)
  • 3 romaine seeds in 2 pellets (i want 4 plants in the end)
  • 3 buttercrunch seeds in 2 pellets (i want 4 plants in the end)
  • mint seeds in 3 pellets(they were too small to count)
i kept the greenhouse covered and under a warm light at 80 °F.
