Start me up!

Its been almost a week since the first planting and the tomatoes seem to be doing particularly well, especially the Roma.  The other varieties are close behind with the peppers behind, and onions, leeks, and parsley bringing up the rear(starting to see a few of each).  Tomato and pepper germination seems pretty solid. I’d say close to 100 percent.

Bought another light and seeded a couple more flats on Saturday-more tomatoes.  I’m thinking I’m going to run out of room.  I’ve calculated an awful lot of tomatoes and peppers to supply in mid-May.  Going to have to get creative, but I’m not sure what that means.

When do I move the seedlings into the greenhouse?  What temperature do I keep the greenhouse at, having spinach still growing in there?  Right?  The seedlings will want at least 60 degrees and the spinach will be happiest under 6o degrees.  Thinking now of finding a happy median of about 10 degrees where the fan or the heater won’t be constantly running.  Maybe between 55 and 65.  Need to consult some other growers.  More learning….could be worse!
