Seeding

I seeded a couple of trays of onions and leeks and a half dozen pots of orange thyme today and brought them over to my friends greenhouse where they will remain until I get my own hoop house put together. I use Speedling syrofoam trays that I bought several years ago. They are sturdy yet light weight and can be reused over and over again. The tray I used has 128 individual cells that I filled with soil mix and two seeds each of the onions. The packet of leeks had only 50 seeds, and I am certainly going to want more than 50 plants so I reordered more. I am still waiting for the scallions and parsley seeds that were backordered. It seems that every day I am calling up the seed companies to replenish my original order. I am used to seeding in much bigger quantities and so seeding just two trays this morning seemed odd. But it felt good to be working with the seeds and soil and I could have spent hours watering the trays in the sunny, warm, humid greenhouse. I'll be away for a few days, but will seed beets, early lettuce, and cabbage as soon as I get home.
