Buying them in the cell trays are probably the way to go. I tried planting them directly from seed, and I think that's part of the issue. I think the other part is where I placed the buckets they where in...
It's good to see you around again! Tomatoes and peppers are always good. I tried planting some tomatoes earlier this year, but I don't think they are doing so well. Did you start them as seedlings or seeds?
Welcome back and thanks for posting! Sorry about you having to rehome your ducks. At least to me, chickens are way easier/simpler to raise. Hatching is always fun. Congrats to your soon-to-be daddy roo!
