Starting seeds (Alfalfa Day, 1st of Meadow, Year 228)

All of April was cold and rainy, and I was not getting any traction on learning when my apartment lease was going to be renewed, so I didn't start any seed for the garden.

However, I started some seeds today:
Abe Lincoln tomatoes
Fish peppers
Mexican sour gherkins
Chimayo peppers
Hatch Green (Big Jim) chiles
Hatch Red (Joe Parker) chiles

These are all from last year's seed packets, so I don't know how good the germination will be, even with the heat mat and supplemental light. But I have hopes.

And another set of jiffy pots, so I might try some more seeds -- beans and more chile peppers, maybe even melons.

Good luck! I'm a little worried chipmunks are digging up and eating my lettuce seeds, I keep having to chase them away from the flat on the patio.
