[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4383715, member: 6230"] i always use a good sterilized seed starting mix in a long tray and then seperate seedlings into individual cups. for simplicity, ive found those seed starting "greenhouse" trays work really well too. as for tips, check soil ph, no overhead watering, keep leaves and stems from ground level to 6-8 inches pruned as they grow (to keep leaves off the ground and prevent splash up), mulch around plants(i use sections of wheat straw), keep grass and weeds at bay and dont use to much nitrogen. fish emulsion works great. in a normal spring and summer, heirlooms are great. last year was the hottest, most humid summer on record here and all of my heirlooms ended up diseased no matter what i tried. the long term forecast for this year is supposed to be drier and average to above average temps for spring unless el nina reverses and then we can have a cooler spring. either way it looks like a good year for gardening year.
