We picked up 5 more shop lights this week. It’s amazing how much light that seed starting rack puts off now. I call it the artificial sun.<\/p>\n

If that wasn’t enough, we stopped by IFA in Riverton today… $100 later, we’re planting even more seeds (and we have “all” the seeds we’ll need this year). Now I’m not only going to need more lights, but probably another whole rack when the seedlings get big enough to need a little more space.<\/p>\n

So, today we planted:
\n24 Hungarian Yellow Wax Peppers
\n24 Big Jim Peppers
\n24 Tomatillos
\n24 Sweet Red Peppers
\n12 Eggplants (Ichiban Hybrid)
\n12 Big BerthaHybrid Peppers
\n12 Cherry Tomatoes
\n8 Spaghetti Squash
\n4 Banana Squash<\/p>\n

And here’s what has sprouted:
\n22 Jalapeno Peppers
\n20 Big Boy Tomatoes
\n19 Brandywine Tomatoes
\n13 Orange Sun Peppers
\n12 Banana Peppers
\n11 Pepperoncinis
\n10 Cherokee Purple Tomatoes
\n9 Poblano Peppers
\n4 Anaheim Peppers
\n3 Habanero Peppers
\n1 California Wonder Pepper<\/p>\n

Still nothing has sprouted from the crappy Jiffy soil. Isn’t that just pathetic? That’s 288 seeds that probably won’t sprout. The lack of sprouts in the Jiffy soil probably played a large role in convincing us to buy more seeds and seed starters today. I’m still very frustrated with Jiffy.
