Just got my seeds started today. It's kinda hard to see what the markers say inside the covered trays, but I've got a row of tomatoes, a row of cherry tomatoes, two rows of bell peppers, a row of jalapenos, a row of cauliflower, and two rows of yellow onions. Everything pictured, except the green onions, will be transplanted outside to the main garden at the end of April once it's safe.
This is my first time ever trying to grow anything with a grow lamp. The plan, over the next month and a half, is to use the lamp for seed starting. Then once they've been planted outdoors, I'm gonna try and use the lamp for growing herbs and such indoors; the green onions are just one thing I have planned for indoor growing. Does anyone have any advice for growing things year-round indoors, things to watch for?
I'm trying these biodegradable pots for the first time as well. I thought it'd be best to try them out with some of the more nonessential plants. I don't know how well they'll work, but it says you're supposed to plant the pot and all once you transplant outdoors, but I'm sure if they'll degrade quick enough to make more room for the roots or if that will even be a problem. I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to gardening.
What are your guy's thoughts on companion planting? This is also something new I'm gonna try this year, hence the herbs and such in the biodegradable pots.
>>1220912Just toss the extras you have into a compost bin/pile if you have one. I always start more seeds than I really need. I do this just in case I lose one or two through the transplanting process or to a rabbit finding its way to my garden once they're freshly planted. Once you're sure all you plants will be fine, just toss them into the heap; that's what I do anyways.
