| Germinating Onion and Pepper Seedlings. 1.25.19 |
Here are the seedlings so far. I've been starting them in seedling 6-packs. I put the 6 packs into a cheap bread-loaf sized plastic bag and sit them on a seedling warmer mat until they germinate. Then they come out of the bag and are just under the lights.
Despite the weird color when the lights are turned on, the plants seem to be growing normally. Turn off the lights, and the leaves are a normal green.

| LED Seedling Set-up/ 1.29/18 |
I may set up one of the old CFL fixtures, because I don't want to spend too much on LEDs and I have more seedlings to start.
The onion varieties are Red Westerfield, Stuttgarter, and some old seeds from Blush Pink or something like that. I also bought some WallaWalla seeds that I started a few days ago.

| Seeds Planted Today. 1.25.19 |
I planted some Tabasco and Thai pepper seeds earlier, which have partially germinated. The seed warmer mat dries them out a little too fast for me, so I took that out. If no additional Tabasco and Thai seedlings emerge, I think I have enough.
Today I planted additional pepper seeds - "Craig Jalapeno", a Jalapeno from the store, Banana, Ring Of Fire cayenne-type, and regular Cayenne, and a Korean Pepper. Most are from Baker Creek Seeds.

The last photo shows some of the onion seedlings, just turning off the LED light to take the photo.
