The tomatoes and peppers were ready for their bigger pots and to be separated into individual pots. Had a pretty good turn out for the number of seeds that popped up. My older Roma seeds seem to be the worst for the Tomatoes, but not sure if it was the seeds or the location in the pan. 

For the tomatoes I did 12 pots for each seed sets. There were plenty of options for good plants there were a number that wouldn't have been worth repotting. I would have in the past though. For the peppers I went with the lowest number had, as the sweet peppers only 8 came up. I was also running out of pots and space to put the pots. So I did 8 pots of each pepper set set. I will have plenty of Jalapenos for sure.  

Just hope the pond area will be big enough to hold the number of plants I want to plant. So far I am planning about 4 of each tomato sets and probably 2 each of the pepper ones. One of my sisters shown some interest in some of the plants so I will be able to get rid of some of that way too. I am sure my other sister has enough connections for the rest if need be. 

In about another month I will probably start some of the more viney plants and get them out. I will need to get a power strip so i can run another light off of the timer. I pretty much have everything used. I might start some more later in the month as soon as I can get things better organized. As it sets things will be a bit crowded, I might have to wait on some of these and just plant them outdoors. Which should be fine for the cucumbers and cantaloupe. I have to acclimate these at some point as well, which is going to be a pain. I have at least 2 months before that happens though.
