No, but I wouldn't bother. Purchasing the seed and a large bale of peat moss will cover far more area much cheaper.

I'm not happy with the peat pots or pellets either one, I've always found them either too wet or too dry with no happy in between for me. If you don't need whole flats of seedlings, you can still use a seed starting medium in plastic pot - plastic that doesn't dry out or the reverse, wick the moisture from the sowing medium - and away from the seeds. I think even newspaper pots would work better for you, and they break down reliably and quickly if you transplant seedlings directly in those, more quickly than the peat. Lots of instructions online showing how to make them. If you start with clean tools and pots, sterile medium, and have some air circulation after germination in the area of your containers, you shouldn't need the hydrogen peroxide....

I just wanted to add a few comments about the red plastic cups. I used to use them, and heated up an old kitchen fork over the gas burner in the kitchen to burn in the holes around the sides at the bottom. Fumes weren't very pleasant, though, and when there were a lot of them, I got rather impatient standing there at the stove for a long time. Maybe some of you know an easier way? Then I started using the white styrofoam drinking cups. You can buy a huge box of them cheaply at Sam's Wholesale Club. So much easier to poke holes - no fumes, they just poke easily with an old kitchen fork. There are advantages to using the red cups: they are more stable and don't tip like the styrofoam cups. This is a definitie plus! Advantages of white cups: 1) no time-comsuming poking of holes and no chemical fumes from burning plastic; and 2) very easy to write any amount of information on the sides with a indelible Sharpie pen; very economical when purchased in bulk. Big disadvanage: they are very tippy, and when one turns over in a pan of water - it could mean a disaster for seeds. You have to be very careful with them, and make sure the potting soil is very well saturated before planting the seeds in them. I am guilty of uttering quite a few bad words when they tip over. If anyone on this forum can invent a means of keeping them from accidentally tipping over, I'll be forever obliged! I also make a little mark on the top rim of the cup to show where I planted each seed. If I plant one in the middle, I draw a little circle on the side of the cup with a dot in it to show me that I also have a seed planted there. I do this because sometimes I just have 2-3 seeds planted there, sometimes 6-7, sometimes more than one cross (but that's not a good idea). I'd also like to include another little tip for those of you who will grow your seedlings in pots: if you live in a hot climate like ours, plant them in white pots only. If you don't have any, paint your black ones white, inside and out. Last year I acquired a number of large nursery pots, black, white and rust-colored. I even got big blue tubs at Lowe's. Planted loads of seedlings in all of them, and to my amazement, all seedlings in white pots far surpassed the others in plant growth and quality. The worst performing ones were those that were planted in the huge blue tubs. Most of them died. I think the potting soil had sunk too far below the top of the tub rim. Not sure though. The phenomenal growth rate of those planted in white pots so impressed me that from this day forward, all my daylily pots will be either painted white or white to begin with. Of course I live in southeast Texas, and our summers are terribly hot. This may not make a difference if you live in cooler climates. Several of our forum members have concurred with me on the results of seedlings grown in white pots that I have posted here at this forum in last year's...

Marty, There is no reason not to have a greenhouse if you have room for one. Very simple to build one out of plastic pipe and cover with clear plastic and add a space heater. Prolly no more than $30. Easy to put up and take down. Just need new plastic cover each year and depending on the size maybe every other year. Shouldn't cost any more than what you're saving by planting seeds instead of plants. I graduated to a metal pipe one when I got a cover for my boat. The boat is still uncovered. Mother Nature just saw a better use for it. ":>( A friend in MS is now using it for her greenhouse this Winter. MN is wanting a real one now. Brick and glass and all that stuff.
