I have been letting the top of the soil dry out and watering.
This takes about two to three days.

Just about every seedling I started from seeds has reached the coveted 1/8 inch mark.
Today with the warmer weather and sun and the mild nights they really put on a show of growth.
The little ones look like they have doubled in size.
Tomorrow I am going to work Plant Tone 5-3-3 into the soil and spray the place down with Lady Bug liquid plant food.
