Just one question since the list seems to be talking about peppers. What is the best way to encourage germination of the seed?
Thanks, Pat Southern Ohio
I bought some of those little Jiffy "greenhouses" that include a 1020 size platform, a little heat mat and a clear cover. Walmart, about $25. and about 4 years old now. I plant peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. in 20row germination flats, trying for about 20-25 seeds per row. I put a little extra water in the solid bottom flat for high humidity. Tomatoes are up in 5 days, peppers in 7-9 days. Since they don't need light to germinate, I just put the flats on the counter and move them to our sunroom/greenhouse when most are up. Works for us.
"Risk" planting of early tomatoes goes out next week. If we get a freeze, too bad, I've another flat two weeks behind. We'll wait until Easter to put out the main plantings.
