We start our seeds in those peat moss pots. Lowes has a good deal on a tray of 50. We got 4 of them and planted a bunch of seeds. My wife noticed that the dang birds were pecking in them so I’m not sure how it’s gonna turn out this year. I got a bunch of bird feeders throughout our property but haven’t had the extra money to keep them stocked. So they have been eating the dog food and now my veggie seeds.

I never had any luck with potatoes. A while back I bought a bunch of those potato buds, the kind where you just add water, at a grocery wholesaler. Gotta have taters even if all heck is breaking loose.

We gotthose little peat pots too. Starting cukes, butternut squash, zucchini and pumpkins too.
We bought some plastic crates ( dollar store....my new treasure trove) to put over them until they are too big for the birds to bother with.

Little late to this thread but wanted to say I got 10 trays and 10 fillers for about $30 on the net. Enough for 480 plants and you would not have thought I would use them all but I did. Once you get started planting, next thing you know you’re promising plants to all your friends and relatives. :)

And next year, won’t have to buy the basic trays, just some fillers.
