It is soooo rainy that I'm struggling with my plants. My lettuce and spinach seeds have all run off and my seedlings look like they have root rot. I'm considering purchasing a collection of cocktail umbrellas to put over each little seedling. I'm beginning to give up hope for this year's crop. Which is sad.
Well, I kept this blog last year in order to help myself do a better job this year. Then in my excitement to get started, I completely unlearned all of my learning. Here's where I messed up. 1. I started my seedlings indoors a bit early. Because of that and their location (not close enough to a window) they got very long rather than healthy and full. 2. I started separating some of the smaller seedlings too small and killed most of my tomato starts. 3. I put the zucchini that I started in the ground and lost it in one day. I'm not sure why. I can only assume it is because I transplanted too early. So, I'm starting over on a lot of things this year and am going to follow along much more closely to what I did last year when things worked really well.
