Anyone out there using soil blocking for #SeedStarting? I had heard of it before but finally today saw someone demonstrating how to do it and it makes so much more sense than plastic or peat-based pots. Any advice for getting started? #gardening

it's the time of year when i kick out the tomatoes again. they ended up a bit lanky under the grow light, but they'll branch out when they start getting some sun.

A cold frame made from two clear plastic tubs, put together like a clamshell. There are tomatoes and peppers inside, and the tubs are held slightly open by a big stick.

Spent lunch checking on the seedlings and filling the bird feeder. Seedlings are: broccoli, microgreens, onions.

Someone forgot to plant some saved Campari tomato seed so those are 8 days behind the others. Someone also plucked some things and potted them up as extras.

A photo showing a seed starting area that has 3 plant trays with mostly tomato seedligns and some tomatilloes. The left tray was planted on April 1 and has 18 square pots. The middle tray is transplants from the left tray and has 9 recycled round pots with 4 tomatillo, 3 Chadwick cherry, and 2 Flamme tomatoes. The right tray has 6 tall square pots covered with 3 clear bags that have freshly planted saved 'Campari' or 'Mountain Magic' tomato seeds and are on a heat mat. They come from a hybrid tomato so they are not exactly true but last years saved seeds were VERY good tomatoes that grew excellent. There are two 100 watt LED light panels above the trays but they are only turned up about 50% or so at a height of a couple of feet.

Cool spring here, so outside plants aren’t growing much yet. Lots of growth indoors: onions, leek, cabbage, kale, broccoli, tomatillo, ground cherry, pepper, eggplant, basil, thyme

Three pepper seedlings in a row that are pushing through sand. Pop pop pop. There are other pepper seedlings nearby that have fully developed cotyledons, two tiny first leaves.

All saved tomato seeds from last year have sprouted up and the tomatillo seeds I gathered from the ground in the garden a month ago are up too. Heat mat turned off. They were started on April 1.

A photo of a plant tray with 18 square pots that have new seedlings growing in them. 15 are tomatoes and 3 are tomatillo. The varieties are Amish paste, Chadwick cherry, San Marzano, Flamme, Principe Borghese, and Rio Grande tomatillo. In the upper right is a black container with blue lid that has a hole in it with 4 pieces of apple scion wood sticking out. They have been in cold storage for a year and seem to be alive and have callused up on the end so they are in water to see if they make roots.

First tomatoes are up, peppers are growing fast, and some new growth on the overwintered Red Marconi sweet pepper that I pruned and fertilized.

A photo showing a new tomato seedling that is up and leaves out. It is a Principe Borghese tomato as indicated on the plant tag. Left of it are tomatilloes starting to sprout but not up. There is some leaf lettuce visible in the upper right. The seedlings are in tall 3.5 inch square pots in a 1020 tray.

A photo showing a Flamme tomato seedling. There is a white plant tag/stake that has the name hand written on it.

A photo showing a 1020 tray with 18 pepper plants in 3.5 inch square pots. Some of the plants are more than 4 inches tall or 10 cm.

A photo showing a jungle of different plants in a 1020 tray in the corner of an enclosed grow tent. The main feature is a saved from last year Red Marconi sweet pepper plant. It is starting to grow new leaves. It has verbena plants growing around it with pink/purple flowers that are in separate pots. There is also a rose campion/Lychnis and grape vine growing in other pots.

Pea, beet, and radish growth. The seeds were planted 4 weeks ago.

A cropped closeup photo of beetroot seedlings. The leaves are green on top and red underneath but the red side is facing the camera on some.

A cropped closeup photo of some radish seedlings. They are starting to grow more green leaves, the stems are red.

A cropped closeup photo of a sugar snap pea seedling, the green leaves are still curled up some.

Our whole propagation set up is both simple and seasonal - it’s a carport that we put up in the spring and take down in the summer. Noel turned old ladders into the perfect stands for our wood seed trays, which we built out of left over lumber. They’re the best! Sturdy, mobile, reusable, sustainable, easy to stack and clean.

Are you feeling spring vibes too?

Finally have lift off on some of our eggplant seeds germinating.

Pretty much everything that should have germinated by now has, and I feel good about what's left to pop

Weather has been terrible for getting outside, but we are hoping to plant some young (1 yr) fruit trees we purchased either tonight or tomorrow, then prep the beds and get some direct sow items in the ground.

Also have to clear space for some in-ground asparagus and strawberry beds. Lots to do but the weather doesn't want to let us do it!
