Hope we can see some progress pics. I note the rice-bank in the background...
AH
Wow! You must be doing something right! Keep them inside till they are ALL sprouting and then put them straight into the greenhouse!
Hope you get a bumper crop!!
PS Where did you get those seedling trays? They look so handy.
My mum always said "plant in good soil". : (
There will definitely be progress pics! I was originally only going to post the one of all the bare soil, but when I saw I had some growth so quickly I couldn't resist showing that as well - and this morning there's much more; you can almost watch them springing out of the earth!
The seedling tray comes from Lowes, mama (similar to Bunnings)- it was only $8 for the whole set, which is a tray, 8 separate seedling trays that fit inside it, the soil (which were magically compressed coconut fibres, which sprang to life when watered), and a clear cover... and yes, it seems to be working! The brand is Burpee; I don't know if you have that in Aus, but I'm sure there's something similar around.
