I worked for these people for seven of the happiest years of my life (so far!) Check them out. A VERY wonderful group of people.
Thanks for the mention, GG! :)
As for my seed starting escapades...listen to this one!
I started my flats of tomatoes, peppers, basil and marigold this past Friday. I had a ‘Snow Day’ and got half the day off, so I made the best of it.
Turns out that a mouse must’ve been using the “slightly split open on one side” bag of soil mix in the garage as his hiding place throughout the winter for pilfered sunflower seeds dropped from the bird feeder, because EVERY flat I planted ended up germinating at least six or more sunflower seedlings, LOL! (I just snipped them off with a scissors; no muss, no fuss.)
It took a little sleuthing, but I finally figured it out. I DO know the difference between a sunflower seed and a basil seed! :)
Too funny, Diana!!!!

Tanks for the idea!

This one involves a mouse, too. We put our trays of watermelon, cantaloupe, cukes, and squash on the floor to start them, since the tables are all full. Somewhere around 150 flats of 4 packs/48 cells to a flat. Mouse got in the greenhouse one year, dug down in the center of each flat, ate the point off the seed. We ended up with that many wasted flats of plants. They all came up still, but they came up blind—no leaves ever developed—just a stalk sticking up in the air. Needless to say, I declared war. He won the first battle, but I won the war!
We do all our seeding by hand. I was not a happy camper!
