Seed Starting 2011

I could barely wait to get my seeds started, and in fact started them way too early, which led to horrible, horrible things in spring.

My typical last frost is in early-mid February, so counting on this I started almost all of the seeds (lavender, hot peppers, bell peppers, basil and thai basil) in January. Stupid.

I bought a little greenhouse, and new seed starting trays with bigger cells, things SHOULD have been perfect. Except, So Cal decided to become Seattle for 4 months and rain constantly, never have any sun, and be freezing all the time.

All of these seedlings died because it never got warm enough to transplant and they had become root-bound and malnourished.
