Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.
Seedlings are like houseplants in that the usually thrive on benign neglect. Too much attention usually means too much water and/or fertilizer, neither of which are good for a plant in a container.
@DLS good luck!
I am gardening for almost 15 years. And every year some of the things just won't grow. And one year I killed a batch of 100 peppers.
And then I try stuff very lazily and it works.
I started nominating a surprise winner and the epic fail of every year...
I wish you best luck and joy with your garden. And a bit of patience.
Exactly, no matter how great you are or how right you do stuff, there will always be something that fails. I used to really not like that part of gardening until I learned to accept that.
Very fun idea, I think we'll have to have our own nominations :)
What are you growing. Depending on what they are, spacing (cucumbers, squash) and possibly support (tomatoes, some peppers) may be helpful. It's always fun, and even when it goes badly... I still enjoy it.
In the pic we've got 2 types of indeterminate tomatoes, eggplant, and a couple flowers. The tomatoes and eggplant will go in a raised bed along with some transplants, and I'm thinking I'll try the florida weave to trellis the tomatoes. But we're just so happy to have anything germinate that I'd already consider this a smashing success lol.
Awesome, it's always exciting. I did some honey but squash 1 year and wish I had grown so many more. Just kept making different things out of them. The laziest was just slicing them like fries and salting/oil and they would bake coming out sort of like sweet potatoes fries
Luck wished!
Those seedlings need more light and a light fan circulating the air so they build strong stems.
Valid! We also should not have let the tomatoes get so leggy, but we're doing what we can with what we got :)
The good news for tomatoes at least is that you can bury them deep when you transplant!
That's very Stardew Valley of them.
Good luck!
you will do great, can't wait for update pics!
