The Germinator

Germinator

When we plant our crops, the first place they go is our germinator.  It is made out of an old upright freezer, with a thermostat-controlled vaporizer on the bottom shelf.  It keeps the inside temperature about 70 degrees, with plenty of moisture.  Most seeds germinate in three to five days.  Even the tough ones, such as celery and parsley, germinate within a week to ten days.  And our germination rate is greater than 95 percent!
