Tomato Seed Planting

Posted:3/15/13
Updated:3/29/23

Last year we planted the tomatoes and green peppers seeds on March 1.  This year we planted them March 14 (yesterday).  Time is running by quickly here at the moment, and thankfully we realized this 2 weeks late and not 1 month, 2 weeks late.  So yesterday we got out the supplies and planted our tomatoes for the year.  You know the usual characters:

There’s the roma, sweet aroma, beef, cherry tomatoes.  Then there’s the green bell peppers.

See the container to the left? ?That’s Burpee’s eco friendly self watering cell seed starting system.  It’s magical. We thought it might have been a gimmick when we bought the bigger cell version for our other seedlings, but those seedlings in it have grown so much bigger than the other seeds not in a self watering system. If you can find this, get it.  It’s great.

Beautiful soil, get your hands dirty.  I love the feeling.

I know I say it ALL the time, but these 2 little sees will turn into full blown tomato plants. It amazes me every single time.

We also are getting the sugar snap peas ready by presprouting them inside.  This always works better for us than planting them directly in the soil as we are never quite sure if they all are growing to sprout or not, and if they don’t you are left with a few that need to be replanted.  With presprouting, you are guaranteed to know they all will grow into plants.   I did a post on presprouting sugar snap peas if you want to read it.

I would like to give a shot out to my gardening helper, Xanadu Pluto, who climbed into the seed starter box…

But realized she couldn’t fit all the way and just stayed like this. No shame.  <3
