Mary’s Seed Starter 4/12/18

I could’ve organized them better.  Toward the end I started running out of ideas and repeated some.

Yesterday I reseeded a cilantro, parsley and lemon basil for those that didn’t germinate.

It seems when I grow chives in the Sprout it is never enough with just 3 pods! The starter would be PERFECT for me to grow chives galore!  Your herbs are great..you always grow a lot of them and have success. So far you are the only one I have seen with a Seed Starter for the Sprout anywhere. There may be more here, but I must have missed them.

Here is what’s left of my starter after transplanting the tomatoes and the biggest herbs. I have some basils, chives and cilantro left to transplant.

Yes, on every AG seed starter I’ve used, for the reason you cite. Just too much light.  It’s very annoying, but kind of unavoidable it seems.  If anyone has an idea to suggest, I will happily try it.

That would help delay it I think. Part of the problem is that the design of the starter has most sponges sitting flush with the deck instead of recessed like in the baskets so even with covers there will be more light than usual.  And the holes are so close together that covers will be hard to place.  But it’s worth a shot!

I will have to find some suitable material to experiment with.

I had algae with all of them, but I think it took longer to develop in the older ones. Good point about the different lights, I never would’ve put it together.
