It was a 4x4 for 16 total - 7 transplanted to bigger pot and 9 to another. Probably 36 plants at least growing plus the 11 others on Sprout's organic peppers. I'll have a lot of separation to do. These things are going like gangbusters now. After about 6 weeks I think (lost count).

I have been in, ‘The Biz’ for TWO DECADES now...and this season, due to time and space constraints, was the first time I’ve used those Jiffy cells.

I LOVED THEM! What a perfect invention - and they’re refillable.

Very impressed. Highly recommended.

Those kits are nice, but I just use Dixie cups with a few hole poked in the bottom, and potting mix or a combo of seed starter and potting mix-I used the kit the first year though.

Then I use stuff from the deli, like cakes come in. Put the Dixie cups on the base, cover with the clear plastic dome, and put a couple of toothpicks under the dome, so that a little air can get in, but keeps it from drying out.

The Dixie cups and repurposed containers with potting mix or seed starter is cheaper than the kits, and works just as well.
