We got our seeds started in the seed trays on Sunday. Yesterday, there were 3 little tomato sprouts coming up and today I counted 72. Not bad, but there are a total of 270 tomatoes that we started. None of the peppers have started to come up yet, they aren't supposed to start coming up until 14-21 days after planting.
We started our seeds a little late this year on purpose, we aren't really equipped to have a large scale nursery in our living room, so when all these little plants are ready to get transplanted out of the seed trays then we will start to run out of space pretty quickly. Next year we should have better shelving and lights, etc. Also, if the plants are a little smaller when we plant them in the high tunnel then they won't have transplant shock quite as bad as the larger plants, so the recovery time will be shorter.
