While loading 200 pounds of duck feed in the barn I noticed a couple of seed starter trays in a corner and fetched them into the house. They're the mini greenhouse type w/ the individual peat pots about 1" in diameter. I'm gonna load up the first with some cactus seeds hoping to sell the babies at local markets, online, etc. After that I want to start some tomatoes and such. My planted maters last year were a dismal failure and only the volunteers in the front yard did anything worthwhile. My store bought pepper plants were also not worth the water I poured on them so I'll start my own at home this year.
My main crops will be maters, okra, peppers, sunflowers, peas & beans, squash, herbs and hopefully some roots like garlic, carrots, turnips, radishes and beets, possibly a bit of corn (mostly for the peas & beans to climb on).
I'll keep you posted on how it all goes.
