I'm so excited! Some of them are doing the thing! Now I just gotta hope they survive the outdoors once they get there! The scarier part!
Nice! What kinds of sprouts?

San Marzano tomatoes!
Oh cool! Any particular reason you chose that variety?
They were in the bag my mother gave me for Purim XD
Also they'll make good tomato sauce, so that's a bonus!
That's awesome. Plants and plant accessories are wonderful gifts IMO.
I was going to ask if you had a plan for them but I thought that might be bad luck for the growing season lol! Some fresh tomato sauce sounds delicious.
If they do all die, then at least I tried! Historically their deaths are due to "guy who cuts the lawn for free had mowed them down because he forgot" so this year there will be stakes so maybe that won't happen!
Some of their deaths are unknown though. Exciting!
New growth is always exciting!
I feel you.. put my rucola sprouts out yesterday and staring at them anxiously every few hours to see if they are happy outdoors. My peppers have shown no signs of life yet.
I hope the best for your peppers!
The damn peppers are stressing me out. Sprout already! Meanwhile the kale and tomatoes sprouted within a couple days.
Looking good!
Thanks! I'm hopeful for them!
It's really easy for the starter pots to dry out at this stage. Make sure you keep them damp, but not wet, and you'll probably get a bunch more seedlings. Using a spray bottle a couple times a day or placing a humidity dome on top can help!
They have a dome, and the entire thing is ahhh...some sort of auto water? Well, water less. It has a large tray of water in the bottom it draws from. I do have to check it occasionally, but not as often so it says!
