Well, here’s what I did. I bought the little peat pucks (as I call them). They are dried up and shriveled and look just like checkers. With the addition of water, they swell up. Once they are moist, seeds can be planted. The instructions say to plant the seeds twice as deep as the length of the seeds themselves.

I planted the pansies first. Those are mighty tiny seeds, almost as small as weight loss pills, wouldn’t you say?

But then I opened the nicotania packet, and WHOA! Those are tiny seeds! I couldn’t even handle them. I couldn’t “plant” such tiny seeds, it was more like “sprinkling” them. We’ll see how they turn out. Hmm.

I needed something larger. My hands were killing me by this point. Ahhh good ole New England pumpkin seeds! Much better.

I also planted cantaloupe. And that’s all I did! Next up will be the yellow squash, basil, cauliflower, and Marigolds.
