180 tomato seeds?!?!?

The back of my package says plant them 2 to 3 feet apart. You must
have an awful lot of space....

I tried beets in peat pots. They got leggy. I had better luck with
direct planting.


We have about 1.5 acres available and my husband just bought a
tractor.

I don't think I will try to use peat pots. They are fine when all you
want to get through are the fine roots, but not for things like beets
or turnips.
