Great start Toposh.

Thank you, and my my how early did u get up?

It's 9am here right now. I've been up since 6am.

lol i forgot your a hour ahead of us, lol im so used to being the one a hour ahead then people, lol

Hey does anyone know if i have to water them (the things in that greenhouse type thing) it didnt say anything on the box but i imagine i would have too....

Those greenhouse thingies look perfect for planting seeds! Now I want to go to Walmart in search of them. Thanks for showing.

PS - not sure if you would need to water or not. Should have come with directions on the cover or box. Hmmmm. Maybe mist them? Others?

You wet the peat pellets to expand them.

i already did that i mean do i have to water it further like after a few days does it need water ive been checking on them so far pretty moist still

Toposh: I have some of those pellets:

My instructions say:

"Set tray in a warm, bright location such as a windowsill and keep pellets consistently moist during germination. After 5 to 8 weeks, transplant into larger pots or to the garden after all danger of frost is past."

I hope this helps.

You will have to water, and open the lid once sprouts start to come up for air. I didn't and all mine died from dampning off lesson learnt! You will need to water the pellets occassionally, when the seeds sprout they should be taking water from the pellets. The lid will help keep some water in.

Mine is the kind that instructs talking tjhe lid off and discarding---but I see
that Toposh's are not

thank you all it you all really help me! yay! my oregano and parsely have already started to sprout! and so have some johnny jump ups and snapdragons wow, its fast it said on the packet it would take up to 11 -21 days for osme of them!

i dont know what i would do with aout yall

Oh fun!! I would like to try one of those Jiffy greenhouse things.. but my problem is I really don't have anywhere to put it for it to get good lighting.. I decided to try winter sowing this year instead.. we shall see.
