pagarden, I'm starting my seeds this weekend. Actually....today. Its the ONLY day that I have time in the next 3 weeks!!! I, too, am in NE Pa....where are you?? Are you going to the Philly flower show? This is the first weekend of it. We're going next Sunday with my husband's aunt and uncle. I can't wait!!

Today I went to wal-mart...ours has a new greenhouse! I found a nice little kitchen herb pot kit for $10. It comes with the pot, soil, and the seeds for the 5 or 6 different herbs that the kit grows. I can't wait to assemble it.

My only concern for the moment, is when do you start to transplant the seedlings. The peat pellets are small so do I transplant them into containers for a little while longer?
I use the pellets too. I prefer starting the seeds in them because they take up such little room, so I'm able to keep most of them all in one flat on the heating pad. Once they sprout and I remove them from the heat, I stick them in left-over six packs from last year. I remove the netting (very carefully) after giving a good watering. I started doing it this way this year because last year, I left the plants in the netting and, at the end of the summer, when I was ripping up my tomatoes, there was the little pellet, with roots. Not a very extensive root system, although the plants did do well. They say that as early as the first true leaves, as late as when the plants start to touch each other, they need to be potted on.
Good luck!
