We start ours in individual peat cubes in our greenhouse. Nothing goes out to the main dirt until plants are about 8” tall. Keep 400w metal halide 4ft about seed arrays. Small oscillator fan to build stem hardiness.
However, in the last couple years, we just buy 1ft tall plants 4 pack for $1.75 from the Amish greenhouse plantation. None of that foucking around with spindly bullshît seedlings 1” tall. my DIY greenhouse plants flopped this year… Musta watered them too much. Buy heirloom seeds from Baker Creek. Had good luck last year.. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Fuggin Bonnie has lost their minds… $5 for a single plant ( 6” plant?) Local co-op had another brand.. small peets fro 3/$1.69. Bonnie had same here, one plant, six inch pot, 1ft tall, about $5.00 Crazy Im getting 4 for 1.75 that about same size. Also with Bonnie, fee years back started a couple different diseases and fusarium

Damn! Getting mixed messages on thinning. Yes to thinning on eggplants, but squash do well in hills. Okay, thanks.

That literally made me laugh out loud. 👍🏼 I’m amazed at the simple solutions to problems that once plagued me….this was another “why didn’t I think of that” moment. 😂

I only start a few things directly in the garden, Swiss chard, quash, corn, peas, and all the root plants like reddish, carrot, beets and turnips. I start eggplants in the house with 3 seeds per container, pick out the best one in the container just before the first actual leaf (after the seed leafs) starts to show, then cull the rest. After that, I move them to the unheated greenhouse. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PNnTtZjX/DSC-0001.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wvg7h5m8/Greenhouse-2022-06.jpg)

Saw some at the local Grocery Outlet. Gotta go check the local Mennonite nursery and the nursery in town. See what they're doing. Time to start some indoors too, as I can plant them out in a month and a half here!

Damn! Getting mixed messages on thinning. Hills vs rows. When you plant in hills three to four feet apart, the hill will support several plants. When you row crop with a seed every twelve inches and rows 24 to 30 inches apart, you will thin to one plant.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I always plant two eggplants in the same hole, same for peppers, two plants in the same hole. Read somewhere years ago that doing so improves pollination.

I usually leave them alone and still get more zooks than I can eat Interesting. So you get multiple sprouts in one spot, leave them alone, and still get a full crop of zucchini? That's pretty good, since I thought we were talking eggplants.

That's pretty good, since I thought we were talking eggplants. Yea generally I walk down the row punching holes every few inches ,doesn't matter what I plant ,drop a few seeds usually 3 or 4 to the hole, walk back and cover them up . Most folks overthink this planting and gardening stuff anyway long as they are good seeds, have water,good soil and the weeds and bugs are removed you will have enough to eat and put up for hard times
