the propagator

last year for xmas someone got a propagator ...




it's basically a big tray with a heating coil underneath to keep the soil at a cozy 65º F no matter how cold it is outside, for most seeds the result is around a 90% propagation rate, pretty impressive ...





this means that we will have more success when we put things in the ground, above are beets, carrots, marigolds (which we are growing as a natural control against carrot fly, ohhhh so sneeky), and basil, the thing about the propagator though is that it produces such a jungle of seedlings you never really know what (or who) you are going to find:
