Today I started the last 3 trays of seeds. I started 30 tomatoes plants, 5 cells of green onions, 6 cells of kale and 12 cells of broccoli. I am growing all of the tomatoes I grew last year Bloody Butcher, Slava , Black plum, Yellow plum, Cabernet, and new this year some Sweetie cherry tomatoes.
This gives me a total of 6 tray of seeds under 3 lights.
The seeds I previously started are doing pretty well, almost all of the peppers are up except the yellow Hungarian I have had issues with them in the past but they are very disappointing this year. I don't think I will be trying to grow them next year right now out of 21 seeds I have one that has come up.

Easter Weekend
Lots of activity this weekend, I cleaned out the asparagus plants from last year. The ground is thawed enough to easily pull/break them off, but still cold enough that there isn't any chance of new growth yet.
The leeks came up on Saturday and are looking good. They came up very quickly and look to have almost 100% germination
The Colossal peppers started to sprout on Sunday, and are looking pretty good there are still a few to come up.
The Chervena Chushka just started to come up this morning giving me a 14-15 day germination. I'm wondering if I had it slightly too cold in the room causing them to take a little longer than in past years. I also didn't have them under the lights for the first week, thinking that additional heat may have had some affect.
