The promise of things to come

These are Manitoba tomatoes which I planted 2 Feb. 9 of the 12 cells have sprouted...none of the 12 green peppers have appeared, but they have a longer germination time. I'll wait another 10 days or so and see what develops.

This is my first try with the Lee Valley Self Watering seed tray...so far I'm very impressed. The next few days will be the true test. In the old cells, I had to be careful not to knock the seedling over with the force of the water...so things were rather messy and slow...now I just keep the bottom tray filled and the wicking fabric does the rest.
