I learned a big lesson in seed starting...

Label the cells even if you make a map!!! I made a map when I planted my peppers seeds, but the other day I noticed that some of the peppers to the outside edge of the flat weren't germinating as well as the ones to the middle, so I rotated them. It wasn't until the next day that I realized what i had done. I think I can figure out most of them---by rotating them again and hoping that they end up in their original spot, but I won't be saving seed from them unless it is just for my own use. I still have seeds left for most, so I'll be more careful next year. I'll be able to identify the bells, but many of the varieties are new to me and there isn't a lot of information for them online.
Needless to say, I was much more careful when I seeded my tomatoes and I labeled each cell.

Learning as I grow.
