Let me start out by saying I'm a newbie - not only to this forum - but to seed starting as well. In my enthusiasm and eagerness to get my seeds started early, I neglected to read how many seeds go into each little peat pod. I am now officially a Seed Slum Lord causing my seeds to live in over-crowed and possibly unhealthy conditions! ='(

When I read that you are supposed to put 2-3 seeds per pod (or whatever they're called), I about fell out. I put closer to 1/4 tsp of seeds in each pod... for a total of 144 over-crowded pods!!!! =| In an effort to salvage my reputation among the seed families, I acquired some upscale accommodations in order to re-house them to more suitable living conditions. =] I purchased two of the 18 pot seed starters.

Help! Am I on the right track? Will the babies survive if I transplant them now? What a goober! I fear I'm either going to lose them all or end up having to build a greenhouse!

These are cabbage, collards, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and kale that are exploding.

The sprouts in the background are cherry tomatoes.

Upscale accommodations. =)
