Vegetable and Herb Seedlings Tray 2

On Friday I planted the first round vegetables and herbs which consisted of the following types and quantity:

Peppers                                     Tomatoes                         Eggplant
Carnival: 3                                   Amish: 3                           Japanese White Egg: 6
Melrose: 9                                   Thessaloniki: 3
                                                   Black Cherry: 3
                                                   Marglobe: 3

Chamomile                               Basil                                  Marigold
German: 3                                  Genovese: 18                      Random: 3

 Goldenrod                                Snapdragons                    Rosemary       

Solidago canadensis: 3                Tall Deluxe: 9                   Rosmarinus officinalis: 6

The entire tray was filled with Espoma potting mix and soaked with the recommended dilution of Neptune's Harvest fish emulsion. The one thing I noticed is that the small cells do not soak up water readily, however, I did not want to make wicks for all the cells. Therefore, I had to endure a rather fishy smelling water until it was absorbed in the potting mix. So far, after two days, the Marigold seedlings are the first to emerge.
