Germination this year

I added shelves to my kitchen window to give me more space for the jars that we are using to water germinate our vegetable seeds in.  We are going to let them grow in the jars until time to plant outside.  The seeds and sprouts will be rinsed once in the morning and once at night.  This will keep them moist and clean. Any gasses in the jars that do not come out throw the cloth will come out when I open them to give them a good rinse.









 I will add pictures tomorrow of the okra seeds after 24 hours of water germination.  Believe it or not but water germination for 24 hours makes them sprout and I know for a fact they grow faster this way then planting them.  The ones in the tray below have been in those peat pots for 8 days and are just now starting to sprout.
