I mixed good quality potting soil with either about 1/4 peat moss or germinating soil for repotting. As of today they are all in 4 inch pots.
For the 2nd round attempts at germinating I used good quality seed germinating soil - and got nearly 100% germination. What was even more striking to me was that the plants were more vigorous too.
Last saturday I put about 8 plants into my plot in a local community garden. These were mostly Cherokee Purple and a few others. However the watering supply wasn't hooked up yet, so I hope they survived the next few days till rain came. The soil seemed moist below the surface so here's hoping they are OK.

Big rock
Well after some more digging I concluded the rock was a piece of limestone at least 2-3 feet across, of unknown depth. Too big to remove without a tremendous effort. I buried it about 10 inches deep and decided to plant cucumbers on top.

My garden rocks
I was putting down more topsoil+black kow+ peat moss the other day, so I was diggin' and mixin', and went just a few inches deeper then last year. Then I found a limestone boulder. Or bedrock...

More sowing
Over the last few days I planted fresh Indigo Rose seeds, and new Costoluto Genovese seeds (an Italian red ribbed variety that I hope does better than Zapotec did). And, some basil.
