If my puter doesn't have a fit and crash itself, gonna add a bunch of photo's of I do all my seed starting. This puter has a mind of it's own. One day it will post pics and the next it immediatly shuts itself off and takes forever to reboot.

Gonna give it a try though.

May only be able to get a couple up at a time before the crash then will have to wait til it wil let me post ore which could be spread out over a few days.

First, I get me a few of those big think it a 288 count, but I use all differnt sizes of trays. I fill each tray with Fafards extra fine seed germninating mix. It can be gotten from nurseries. Think you may be able to order it on line too in the small packages that weigh about 5 pounds. I fill all the holes and kinda lightly press down to compact it in a tiny bit. Then I give it a good waterign til the water runs out the bottom. Then I let it sit and drain for about 15-20 minutes.

Then I plant my seeds, one seed at a time. If the seeds need cover, then I sprinkle just a fine layer of vermicultite over the top of them.

I take old curtain blinds and cut them up into tiny strips about inches tall and then cut that " strip in half again and place in four spots aroudn the edge of the tray before slidding into a one gallon baggy. One of the other pics shows how i place the little tags.
