I like egg cartons for starting Sweet Peas (flower) and Nasturtium seed.

I am completely sold on using the Jiffy seed starting trays and plugs. Never tried them until a few years ago. So much less mess, and great results.

They're re-usable; just buy new plugs the following season and wash out the trays well before re-using. They come in many sizes. I like the 16's for peppers and tomatoes and I use the smaller plugs to do entire flats of whatever annual flowers I need for planting. (Zinnia, Marigold, Calendula, Sunflowers) Love, love, LOVE them!

VERY Spring-like weather for SW Wisconsin this week. I'll take a few rainy days in between. ;)

How big can you let the seed start get before you have to put the in a bigger pot?
