We're starting the big garden seedling run and wow, 72 cells is a lot of plants.
I scavenged some 3x6 cells from another project and fit them together into a standard 1020 tray. So far the plan includes 18 tomatoes and 32 hot peppers, plus a bunch of herb and veg odds and ends. (3-6 of each pepper; jalapenos, 3 colors of habanero, and fun ones like the gorgeous purple "black Hungarian" peppers and the stripey "Thai fish pepper" that is neither from Asia nor a fish pepper.) Oh, and a little medical as well, firing some bubblegum auto seeds I've got laying around.
I am beginning to fear squirrels though. We had issues with them planting peanuts everywhere last year, and this year we don't have the cats out there discouraging them. I think I'm going to turn some of those peppers into squirrel crying juice to spray on the other plants. (Bird flu is "endemic" in our county, before the orange turd censorship kicked in. Convincing a cat to ignore a sick bird is not gonna work, so they're stuck inside for the duration. Don't ask how the rescue is taking it.)
