March 2012 Seedling experiment

This blog is just for me. As I was working in the garden today, I thought, "I need to make notes." Pinterest is good but this might be better.

So here goes......
Seedlings experiment: pretty much a failure....except for the zucchini and cucumbers but will they make it? likely not.

I borrowed a seedling container from Laura F. I purchased the cells and the seed starting soil that I found in a video online.

One of the problems mentioned in the video was that the seedlings would get spindly. this is what happened. After 2 weeks in the container, I took the zucchini and cucumber seedlings out as I knew from past years that the leaves needed to be near the ground, near the soil.

Here are the survivors.  I plan to pass these around to Julia, Carol and anyone to "seed sit" while I am around.  Our house sitter Becky will have a couple as well.
