Live and learn.

I fried my tomato and pepper seedlings in my cold frame. My Dad built me a cold frame out of an old window and some 2x6's. I was so excited to try it out that I didn't consider venting it properly (leaving it open a bit, propping it open with a nail as my Dad directed) and I fried my 12 tomato seedlings and another 10 pepper seedlings. Whoops. ( Read more... )

I will certainly share photos in time. There's not much to see right now. The seedlings are tiny still and the raised beds are housing some spinach and lettuce, which has been very slow growing. Come July, there will be a lot more to see.

it was very discouraging to go out there yesterday and find all my little seedlings dead as door nails.

That IS heartbreaking.

It is weird how connected one becomes to plants.
