Started the first seeds of 2010!

Sunday afternoon (Feb. 21st) I planted around twelve Big Zac tomato seeds in the parks biodome!  I'm planning on planting the rest of the Big Zac seed in about 2 weeks when the first round gets to growing pretty good.  Then i'll probably pick out the best looking 8-12 plants to plant in my garden.  I'll give the rest away to my neighbors.  I didn't buy the biosponges for the biodome this time.  I used a peat moss mix.  We'll see if this method works well.  I didn't want to have to buy anymore of those expensive sponges!  First, I mixed water with my peat moss mixin a bucket, then spread the peat moss into the styrofoam tray.  I added some more water in the bottom of the biodome, to make sure that the peat doesn't dry out before the tomato seeds germinate.  Sure hope this method works out.  It's a lot cheaper! : )  More pictures to come!
