Sowing Seeds Means Seed Starter!
...Preparing Your Starter Mix makes ALL the difference!
The 1st Chapter in my Series, From Seed To Harvest, Bluefin's 2 Minute Gadrening Tips: Seed Preparing Starter Mix, for Sowing Your Seeds.
- I have another three 10 Gallon (For Brussels Sprouts), and twenty 10 Gallon grow bags, to fill, that's the last of them. These will be for pepper, tomato, Zucchini and Summer squash. These will get my usual 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost mix, plus Espoma® Garden-Tone and some worm castings. At the least, I need to gather the soil, compost and peat for this and perhaps start to mix it.
- end of week, I will start Hardening OFF my peppers: transplanting outside, within 10 days.
- Next week, I will be hardening off Tomato, and following week, squash, Zucchini and more herbs! It takes about a week for Hardening off plants. so, once I start, I transplant in 7 or 8 days, depending on weather.

There was me assuming that seed starter mix would have already be have been heat treated. I thought you'd only need to do that with home compost.
Most all seed starter mix from stores has Fungus Gnat eggs or larvae. That's the biggest reason for using boiling water, on it.
How is the weather??? It's been different pretty much everywhere for some years now...

Weather's been very good so far. Our Average Last Frost date has come and gone a week ago. Days are at about 80ºF (25 or so C) and nights are at lowest 50ºF (10ºC) but usually much warmer. SO, time to transplant, and time to sow direct seeds!
Sounds like it should be a great crop - enjoy 🙌
