I have more space to start plants this year, but it's still very worth it for us to conserve space where we can. To that end, we're starting several species in a "mob grow" style with many many seedlings in each pot rather than individual smaller cell trays. Once they're of a size for transplanting we'll be able to tease them all apart either for planting in the gardens or repotting for sales or donation.
h/t to Bobby over at Small Scale Permaculture (yt link) for convincing me to try this out with more species.
I just planted a bunch of veggie seeds a few days ago and I can't help but check on them like five times a day.
That's an appropriate amount of checks per day, for a slacker.
I kid, I kid. It's just so exciting when they finally sprout, it's like the ultimate payoff
I just checked and one has sprouted!!
Diligence pays off! 💪
