Tomatoes and Peppers Started Indoors

Peppers and tomatoes started in seed starting mix. Plastic wrap over the yogurt containers keeps the soil moist while the seeds germinate. Doesn't take long for the plants to get tall enough to brush the plastic wrap, at which time I remove it and start paying attention to the soil's moisture level, watering from the bottom as needed. (I poked holes in the yogurt containers prior to planting.)

Germination goes better with heating pads, set on low/medium, under the plastic trays, especially for the peppers. Lights are rigged on the shelving. I turn the lights and heating pads on about 7 a.m. and off at about 9 p.m.
