Te Yellow ones are lagging behind a bit-----I may need to soak/germinate a few extras--as I have people I have promised these to.... Everything is doing OK! I am happy! Remember the problems I had last year? Threw all my Tomato seedlings out--as well as having "issues" with everything else??? I now think I did them all in myself---just trying to apply what people recommended.....and NOT being careful. I believe I 'did them in" by spraying with too strong a solution of H2O2. NOT gonna spray with anything this year!!!! As you can see--I DID adopt David's suggestion of putting smithereens of Sphagnum Moss on top of all the mix to act as a natural fungicide. Didn't see any harm in it.......AND--I found a BIG bag of it from years ago--(maybe 7 or 8) rescued from containers of orchids at HD when they were being tossed.....LOTS of good, dry Sphagnum Moss..... Rubbed it really good and sifted it through a regular colander.....Works for me! |
