Tomato Seeds.

17 years ago

Two years ago I spent a load of money ($55) on seed from Burpee, I got my moneys worth. Now those seed are near the end of their life, so I want to use them up and so I got out my peat pellets (The only other choice was plain old soil so I think those are fine) and I soaked them and planted the seeds. That took me about 4 hours (I was distracted and wanted them to be very organized). For my set up, I have 3 small lamps with different colored CFL's in them, all about 4 inches away, and covered in foil to direct the light. The peat pellets are in a jiffy tray and are covered with the dome. Everything is perfect. the average temp in our house is 70 and in the dome it is warm, but I don't have a thermometer to tell.

It has been three days and I am worried, and yes I do know that it can take up to a week. I did notice some mold on one of the pellets and threw that one away. The only thing that is coming up now is my cucumbers, which I had planted because I was bored. I know that my seeds are still alive, or at least most of them are because I squeezed one of them and there was still life inside.

I am going to go to a specialty store that has many organic fertilizers and pesticside and pots. can anyone give me any tips?

I need to know if you think my seeds will be fine

When and how much to fertilize

When to transplant

and what do you recommend to use to transplant seedlings into new pots (soil wise and pots)
