In years past I've started almost all of my seeds at once. This year I decided that I would stagger
starting them. I'm hoping that this will spread out my harvest. I don't want to have all of my
tomatoes die at the same time like they did last year. I started my first seeds on February 11. I started additional seeds on the 18th and 25th. I'm going to start more tomorrow (and continue each week until I until I put plants in the ground).
Now is probably a good time to mention that
last year I printed out a diagram of my garden and planned exactly what would go where. That way I knew exactly what seeds to start and where the plants would end up. It worked well. I haven't done that this year. I'm going back to my old seat-of-the-pants method of "starting a lot of seeds and planting where there's room".
Anyway, what's the point of this post? The first group of seeds that I started got big. So I had to pot them up the other day.

I found a container of soil in my yard and brought it into my garage to thaw out. I filled the small pots with soil and moved the seedling (peat pod included) into the larger pot.
I moved the newly potted seedlings under my shop lights.
Below is a wider shot of the area. I'm still waiting for more seedlings to appear in the
Jiffy Greenhouse.
