It's a good thing that I actually took 200 of the 400 tomato seedlings and turned them into transplants. I planted 30 into the boxes and pots on Saturday. They were all dead on Sunday. Was it too windy? Did they not like the special 'tonic' I used ( more on that later). Replanted 12 Fantastic and Cherry Buzz 2 days ago and they are doing well. Will replant the Russian Black Heirlooms tonight. Tonight is also time to get the peppers into the ground.
My cucumber and zucchini seeds finally all germinated. At first I thought I might only get 2-3 plants. They did not all sprout at the same time. I think the germinating pots were too wet for these. Next year, keep the seeds on the water mat for only 2-3 days a week and dry out between.
Potatoes have all sprouted! I'm going to try to increase production by layering compost and straw over the lower leaves and make the plants grow higher. (Note to self, buy straw)
Off to the dirt.
