It takes me so long to get anything planted, even though I have my supplies gathered when I am ready to work. I have to refer to my printed matter to check if the seeds get covered or not. I do my mini-blind ID tags ahead of time, but until I know how many containers I will be sowing of each specific seed, I can't write out the tags using the paint pen. Until I open the seed pkt. I have no idea what size the seeds are and until I start sowing, I don't know how far the seeds will go. This is my first year trying WS and I'm sure I will have a lot of HOS..then there's the taping the jugs process, which by the way is faster since I am now using the heat/ac foil tape. I can't write the names/date sown on the jugs until I know how many of each seed variety I will be sowing. Did all of you feel overwhelmed when you first started? I only sowed 2 pkts. Brilliant Red oriental poppy seeds last night, using 6(1/2 gal)milk jugs. Didn't really time myself but it seemed like it took quite a while. Now I've run out of milk jugs, so will start planting in 4 in. pots that will be placed inside a clear, Sterlite container that will have holes in lid and bottom for drainage, air circulation and moisture. First of all, I need to go buy more MG potting mix and while I'm at HD, will buy a bag of fine grade vermitculite to sprinkle on top.
