Default Doing it in CowPots

Just got done transplanting my seedlings to the CowPots so now we wait and nurture till planting time. Here's some pictures of the plants setting on my 2 racks on a wood base with rollers. Moving them is a snap so as to get even lighting from the big south facing window. Also tried something new this year called root riot. Bio sponges used for cuttings or starting seeds. When I planted the seed in the sponges I put a seed in each corner versus the hole in the middle. When both seeds did start and grow I was able to cut the sponge in half and get my two seedlings. See the photo's of that as well. Ami
