R.I.P. Seedlings


My early started seeds that I murdered. The newspaper pots started growing some mold so I applied a baking soda spray to take care of it. Much too strong for the little guys and most of them sadly did not make it. However it did take care of that mold! Thankfully the spray worked great on my gardenia that was seriously stressed out. Bottom shelf holds some ranunculus bulbs that I got at the dollar store so I started them inside to see if they were duds. 9 out of 10 came up! Then my cat ate them. :(

Columbines started in eggshells. I started two seeds per egg, only three germinated, two of which were in the same egg. They are now planted in a box under cloches. Hopefully I started them early enough so they can flower this year!

Violas and Petunias, luckily a few of them survived and are now happily growing outside.

Tomato seedlings that bit the dust. So sad. On a side note, I love when the leaves pop up with the shell of the seed still attached.
