Propagation

We do not have a working, heated greenhouse yet but we can still raise seedlings in our basement. I purchased some propagation mats and a thermostat. That was enough spending for this week, Next week I will get some lights for the germinating seeds.

I set up a board of insulation for a bench top and planted seeds in recycled Flats. I use 1206's (the plastic six packs that flowers come in) to start most of the seedlings. I like them because they are economical, sanitary, and each cell is large enough to hold plenty of moisture while the seeds are propagating. I will leave these on the pads until the seedlings are producing their first true leaves.
