I really, strongly considered buying the heat mat and then didn't - I knew I'd regret it.
Adam Weiss Comment by Adam Weiss on March 31, 2010 at 1:01pm
10 days would be a point to reconsider. I am using the combo of the heat mat and the ultraviolet lights and have had very strong success. My cucumber seedlings germinated in 3 days

How long would you wait for tomatoes and peppers to germinate before giving up hope?

I look forward to being a new member of seedling group!
My wife and I own Pike Lane Bed and Breakfast in Woodstock, NY as well as Pike Lane gardens. I am a master gardener and will be teaching a workshop series on Creating your own organic vegetable garden at our Bed and Breakfast this spring.
I have 300 cells growing under uptraviolet lights as we speak. I am passionate about vegetables and look forward to asking questions and adding any additional incite.

regards,
adam weiss

A great BioDynamic remedy for fungus and damping off of seedlings is to make a fermented Equisetum (Horsetail) tea. Here is a link to a recipe I posted last year on my Hudson Valley Garden Confidential. Equisetum should be coming up soon all around the valley.

Jay - Would love to know more about the Blue Mexican Corn. It sounds very interesting. How would I go about getting the seeds for that? We are located in Warwick.
Jay Levine Comment by Jay Levine on March 22, 2010 at 7:22pm
For anyone looking for seeds, I saved seeds from a number of my veggies from last year. I especially have a ton of Waltham Butternut squash but also Detroit dark red beet, Red Russian Kale, Hungarian Yellow Pepper (medium hot), Blue Mexican Corn (a sweet corn developed in upstate NY) and a few others. If you're interested let me know.

I also teaching an Organic Gardening class at Red Hook Continuing education starting April 6 and if there is enough interest. a continuing , hands on organic gardening class in my home garden. You can visit my website at www.hudsonvalleybackyardfarm.com for more details.

I would love to be part of gardening parties - especially when i start killing my seedlings because I have bad temperature control in my home, and will want to trade my extra tomatoes for your extra peppers, or something of the sort.
