We decided to "grow our own" this year instead
of purchasing transplants. We'll see how it goes.
Stephanie and I prepped the seed starting flats with wicking mats, seed-starting soil mix in new
trays, support flat, and humidity domes. We have planted seeds for celery, cabbage, and parsley.
The flats are placed on heating mats and under florescent lights (about 6" up),
and on a table that has reflective material on the sides and back.
The mats will be turned off when the seeds have germinated.
We have a new cold frame that we will use when the plants are ready to go outside,
and a new poly greenhouse at the farm to let them grow until they are ready to be
put into the ground.
