Update on the bubble wrap spiral seed-starting method: it makes transplanting very easy. Look at those roots! Minimal entanglement.
I had to be careful with overwatering, as it does keep moisture much better than just putting it in small containers.
Seed germination was not uniform throughout the spiral, though. Seeds in the center tended to do consistently better. Some of those in the outer layer rotted.
I transplanted the first batch of starters (peas and spinach) a couple of weeks back, and they are doing great.
The plum seeds I've had in the refrigerator for 5 weeks or so have started to sprout so they were put in pots. They're from red South African plums. I looked up the possible varieties they could be and the pollinators all seemed to match up to something else that is a marketed plum so they might make edible fruit. 12 seeds in 9 pots, 4 weren't showing so I put them all in the same pot.
