After my huge planting spree on Sunday, both of my trays are now filled. Which is another reason I moved flats out to the greenhouse.
It should be noted that six of the new flats will be moved out to the greenhouse as soon a I have two true leaves on most of the seedlings, which should happen within in the next week. That will free up space for the next huge batch that will be started in 1.5 weeks.

The kids are really getting excited about the broccoli.
More baby broccoli.
Have I mentioned my tomato plants are extraordinarily happy?

To answer the question about fertilizer, I suppose the easier question to answer is what soil do I use? This is a mildly eye-rolling situation. We went to a mega-garden store back in March, and I looked over the various bags of seed starting medium, and told one of the workers that I needed 5 bags of "that" and pointed to one of the bags. Now in my mild defense, I had two children who were getting antsy, and a husband who was getting mildly antsy. I just picked. It wasn't until I had already checked out that I REALLY looked at what I had chosen.
When I realized my error, I had no desire to take it all back. I do have MANY outdoor planters that will need to be filled in May, so I figured I'd just save it for them and go back (by myself) for true seed starting medium. But then I was lazy. I never went. The seeds needed to be planted. I rolled with it. And voilà!
All that to say I haven't been fertilizing deliberately yet, but I'm not using a true seed starting medium either. As soon as the plants start getting bigger, I'll probably start a bloom booster.
Garden plan coming soon!
