Mix of melons, peppers and tomatoes. Not expecting all to live and some to be culled, I don’t have space for 12 tomatoes and 9 peppers in the garden, but the best will make the cut.

    Hell yeah. Looking good, dude. Those guys seem eager to get growing. We finally hit a warm stretch here and all my early starts and sows have finally woken up. It’s starting!

      I’m a little curious how well they will do, it was a bag of miracle grow that was outside all winter, it was still sopping wet when I was working.

      Thought about baking it to kill off potential bugs, so we will see if I fucked up royally or not!

        Ah man, are you me? I’ve been fighting some algae and mold issues and I’m pretty sure it was due to the bag of starting mix I used that sat out in the rain and never dried out. I said to myself it’d be fine. Surprise! It was not!

        I put my fan back on my trays and that’s helped a lot. Some neem oil is helping hold the line as well. It’ll be moot in a couple weeks when I move starting to outside, but yeah, I was brought low by my hubris

          Definitely sounds like a secret half twin haha.

          I’m not worried too much about these, I could toss them and buy some starters from HD if they start going, it does save that money. It’s the stuff getting to my other tent, which should still be fine.

        If it’s going to be going back in the ground, odds are it will ultimately be fine. The only thing to be wary of are diseases, which seems unlikely to get into a bag of dirt.

          It’s my other crop in my other tent I’m worried about the bugs getting too, but I totally hear you.
