Started some tomato seeds today in eggshells!

Pretty excited to see if this works or not. I planted black cherry tomatoes in the green shells and valencia tomatoes in the tan shells.  I used a sharp knife to make the first crack in the skinny end of the egg to give the most root space. I also added a little drain hole on the bottom. They're inside under lights and on a seed starting mat. Hopefully I'll have some little seedlings to give to my mom and dbf's mom for Easter!

Hopefully I'll have a comparison shot to this soon with something growing in it!

I was shocked to find most of them in some sort of growth! Its only been 6 days. I was worried about not having anything sprouted yet to give to our parents for easter..   I had peeled out the membrane from the inside and it made the eggs really fragile and they're starting to break apart around the top without anything to hold them together.. I will start leaving it in the eggs I have set off to the side to plant in.  Last year, and the last 4 or so years prior I used jiffy peat pots to try and start seedlings. Hah, what a joke! Last year I ended up buying started tomato plants because I couldn't even get the seedlings started.

My little corner of the workbench in the garage. I have a little low watt light on them because the seeding mat wasn't keeping them warm enough..
