Critical Purple Rooftop Garden

This was an exciting week, as the seeds popped and true leaves began to show! I tried the method recommended by Grower's Choice--germinating on a paper towel--last year, but didn't like it. Admittedly, it does protect them from claims that the seeds were duds, but I've never been good at handling sprouted seeds. Instead, I planted the seeds directly into wet seed starting mix, watering every other day while the pots were in the laundry room (warmest room in the house). Now that the seedlings have true leaves (and it has warmed up in NoCal at night), I'm able to leave them outside on the top of the patio cover overnight. I figure they can grow in these four-inch plastic pots for two or so weeks before they need to be moved into their permanent grow bag homes.
