SEED STARTING IN FULL SWING!

Seedlings at home in new green house
N More ....
Soon to be filled with plants!
Every day the number goes up!  We start our seeds in 72 cell flats, as you see in the first two photos.
Because these plants (peppers & tomatoes) don't germinate (grow) in soil less than 72 F. , we start them on grow racks indoors.  Once they have sprouted and have true leaves, they are moved outside into our portable green houses. 

Right now, we have 12 x 72 flats started.  By the time we are done, we will have over 2000 plants ready for the garden, and a few hundred to share with others.  If you look at older posts, us bears just love to see the smiles that come from our plant give-away program.  Our "Tiny Tim" tomatoes  get transplanted into larger containers, so people that don't have garden space can grow them on a patio, or even a sunny window sill.   We'd love to have you grow along with us!   Blu Bear
