Oh I went crazy with one of those 5 planters. Found carrot seeds for 50 cents at Walmart close-out. Soooooooooo small - I probably dropped 10-20 in some holes. Oops.

Oh well, I’ll separate them as they start to mature. My first package is almost all failures (maybe 6 tiny, tiny plants). Bad soil.

Yes, the seeds are tiny. I have tried a lot of different methods, but finally settled on using the tweezers to plant the tiny seeds.

So I just dump some out in my hand and use the tweezers to pick them up and place them. I can’t recall who told me to try tweezers, but it might have been tubebender, anyway it’s not my original thought or anything.
