Yesterday, in a cloud of enthusiasm and clumsiness, I accidentally killed one of my tomato seedlings. :-(
I don't think it's too late to start another seedling, but I think I'll pass on that. I still have 2 seedlings and if they die, then I'll just buy a plant from the green market once they're back. It's not the end of the world. Just a reminder that I do indeed have a black thumb.
Here is my track record so far:
Planted:
2 Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach
None sprouted as seeds were too old and crummy.
2 Little Gem Lettuce
None sprouted as seeds were too old and crummy
1 Little Gem Lettuce
New seed packet with a few planted in one small pot this past weekend
3 Lincoln Peas
1 Sprouted and looks very healthy!
3 Brandywine tomatoes
2 Still surviving, but looks sad and weak
1 Small Wonder Spaghetti Squash
1 Sprouted - took a long while, but I spied a tiny seedling curling up just last night!
4 Angels' Trumpet flowers
2 Sprouted
6 Lilac Petunia flowers
3 Sprouted. These have been really hard to not kill!
1 Thai Hot Pepper
Just planted this past weekend
2 Large Leaf Italian Basil
1 Sprouted. No luck on the other pot
6 Garlic Chives
Just planted this past weekend in one pot
So it looks like my success rate is a little under 50 percent.
