This reminds me--do any of you presprout your crop seeds.
I've
experimented with this for 3 years, and discovered I could
transplant
tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, brassicas & okra about a week
earlier than
with soil germination.

Liz,
Please tell me more details - how do you do this? Sounds
like I would presprout and then place the seed in the
individual cell (or brownie flats like you use)? I'm
starting tomatoes and peppers tomorrow.

Thanks!
