Here are all of the seeds in their new homes for the next week and a bit.

As you can see, warming up the soil while the seeds were soaking really paid off. Before warming them, the soil temperature hovered around 70 degrees F (my wireless temperature sensor tells me that the ambient temperature is also close to 85, but slightly lower). As you can see from the photo (on my new instant-read digital thermometer from the Wal-Mart kitchen section), the temperature was a nearly perfect 82 degrees F. Now, the temperature is right where it should be, around 85 degrees F.

Now, I just wait (and build a rig for adjusting the height of my grow light, add some peat moss to the garden, add some epsom salts, 20-20-20 fertilizer, build raise the bed, fill in with 4 yards of triple mix, till everyhing in, build the rabbit fence, put together my poly greenhouse, and all that's before any real growing gets started).
