Yesterday, I finally got around to starting my seedlings inside. I usually end up buying some seedlings from the nursery and there are a lot of vegetables that I direct sow later in the spring, but I like to get some things going inside to plant out after the last frost. This is probably the most I've ever tried. I had actually hoped to plant more, but I ran out of space in my closet. In the egg cartons I planted 18 marigolds, 6 parsley and 12 cumin. I've never grown cumin before, so I don't know how it will turn out. I actually just planted some seeds from the spice drawer in the kitchen. They may not even germinate. In the cups, I have planted 6 jalapeno peppers, 6 piri piri peppers (a frutescens from east Africa), 12 chia sages, 12 slicing tomatoes and 12 cherry tomatoes. I had wanted to start more tomatoes, some jalapenos that may have cross-pollinated with an ornamental pepper and a lot of cayenne, but I'm going to have to find somewhere else to put them.
