I just started following this gardening group and I guess I should go to my basement and get some seeds started. This is my wakeup call to action. Good luck with your crops this year.

What are those seed starting domes you're using?

They’re from company called Garland. Tons of different trays with or without drainage holes, different sizes, and with or without domes. I think they’re more common in UK but you can buy them through Greenhouse Megastore online in US. I like them when I need a larger quantity of something.

I have not had any luck with growing snapdragons from seed. I keep trying, though!

Using a heat mat with a temperature controller helps a lot. I would struggle to start seeds in my cool old basement without them. Also a thin sprinkle of chunky vermiculite before seeding can help keep them up off the soil and in the light they need.
