Today I sowed seeds for most of the hot peppers and some sweet peppers.
Some of the seeds are old. I don't know how they will do. I sowed a lot of the Thai peppers because the label showed poor germination in 2018, and they are much older now. Of course, there are the overwintering plants too.
I have some more to plant. This should be a good start. I start peppers early because they take SO much time to get growing.
This time I'm using re-usable seedling starters that can be washed in the dishwasher to sterilize (after washing to remove grit etc). In theory, these can be re-used many times over the years. They are larger than the usual six-pack seedling starters, which I think is better.
They are on seedling warming mats now. I need to get a new thermometer, which I ordered today.
The green seed starters are silicone trays, also reusable. I used them at least twice in last year 's seed starting, washing in dishwasher to sterilize before re-using. Those contain the Echinacea and onion seedlings.
