Yeeks -- I've got thin splotchy white fuzzy stuff, i'm assuming is mold on the surface of some of my peat pots.
Is the seed ruined, and is the soil shot? or can i just scrape the top layer off and add more -- then add another seed??
UGGG, and they were my heirloom tomatoes!!
I had them in an open ziploc .... but obviously they stayed too wet ... i have them out in the sun right now.
Mold
I would also like to know - I have some delphinium seeds that got some mold.
I had some seeds with mold on them and threw them away...
TC I had some mold on top of the soil around some of my seedlings and I took tweezers and very carefully picked it off. I also had some seeds that hadn't germinated yet and the whole top of the soil was moldy, I dump those in the garbage... I was told when that happens some of the seeds are bad...
Now I am fighting fungus gnats and that is a pain, I have lost sooo many babies because of them :( I gave all my plants and babies a good drink of knockout yesterday I hope this will take care of them... It was bad enough fighting them here in the house, but they ended up out in my GH :( All my coop plants are out there. So far all out there are okay...
I'm so sorry pepsidrinker . . . .I know you work hard to be a good plant parent . . . . A curse on all the gnats! ditto for the mold.
Thanks Sean
OH -- I have to add.... many of the containers that were moldy, have germinated. It turns out, it was my columbine containers.... boy i would have been totally BUMMED if they all croaked. there are still 4 that had a bit of mold, that have not germinated yet. One was some sort of "strawberry" something ... i'd have to look that up...but i still have more seeds that i will just direct sow.
