Well I had posted pics of my seed trays around 3 weeks ago and all where doing well.Then my wonder dog decided that they needed to be rolled on.It is almost a total loss.May be able to save one tray total....sigh.
I was under the impression, that I would not necessarily start plants inside, weeks ago. I am planning on doing some raised beds, but was going to wait until after the threat of a frost.
Also, does anyone know if I can plant over septic fingers in the back yard. The grass sure grows like crazy from the extra water, but don't want to get sick fro ecoli or something. Any suggestions are welcome.
While we are back on this topic, has anyone else had issues with their starts having a moldy looking stuff on them? My wife is less than encouraged at this point.
For the past few years I've been starting my peppers from seed in January, and my wife's complaining starts right about the same time. When my tomato seeds go in come February, she is crying about how bad the fluorescent lights look from the outside. When the squash and cucumbers get started in March/April, she bemoans how she hasnt been able to have a guest over since New Years. (as if we have our fingers on the pulse of the social scene.) Now Im moving seedlings outside. Come July she'll be raving about our tomatoes (as if she lifted a finger) and having me roast peppers on the grill.
I planted carrot seeds outside on April 1st, along with peas and onions. I was halfway convinced that they were a total loss and I would have to replant, but I'll be darned, the peas are about 1.5 feet tall and the carrots and onions are going strong. We had a couple of freezes right after planting, but they all came up none the less.
