Been really busy working with the plants for this years garden and figured I ought to finally post some pics.
I started 70 some tomatoes, 40ish peppers and some broccoli and basil. Also doing some flowers for companion planting and for some for Mom.
Tomatoes
Peppers/broc/basil
Waited a bit too long to transplant and they started to crowd
A few shots of the light
first is light on without flash
second is light on with flash
third is light off with flash
I love this thing (Global Greenhouse Light with 4 T5 bulbs)
Used top quality natural and organic mix
Station all set up to begin
A few of the roots had begun to crowd and if you allow them to grow this way they will eventually strangle each other so tore the bottom of the roots off (it's OK, they can handle it)
Everyone is potted up but I'm pretty much out of room
That plant on the right side is one of those basil plants I got at the grocery store (they are hydroponically grown) that you add water to that I added to dirt to use until my regular basil is growing. It was sketchy at first and almost died but doing alright now.
Last year my tomatoes grew almost 10' tall, hoping for another great year like that...worried about the stink bugs though.
Would like to thank Alex for all the previous tips and tricks and help, especially with the cage info

I'm really excited and can't wait for the little babies to show their true leaves like yours.
