I am going great guns! two have already died. the other four are leggy so I am going to sow some more red ones.Should we be making Cleo laugh in his condition?

Jeannine

Oh yes,laughter is the best therapy....

Today I mostly sowed Okra!
A few each of Emerela Velvet, Bowling Red, Mammouth & Pure Luck. I figured I might win with the last one! ;D

I'm in.
Sowed 18 Better Five F1 seeds on March 9th, all germinated March 19th.
Lost 6 of them, because their leaves didn't unfold out of the husk.

There is yet another one of the leftover 12 that has a seed pod as a head instead of two leaves as the others have. It looks like a little zombie seedling. Does anyone know why these horrible things happen?

Today I will sow the Red Burgundy. I found some room to squeeze a new tray in.

I have three remaining seedlings (Clemson Spineless) but they don't look that good.  I noticed that there were tiny white lumps under the leaves.  Are they insect eggs or is this normal?  I wiped them all off anyway as I was scared in case they were eggs of green or whitefly and I didn't want them spreading to my other plants.  Your advice would be much appreciated please.   :-\

I saw the same, without glasses they looked like tiny crystals, thought I may have over watered.
Otherwise no idea.

Jeannine

Oh the fun is starting... zombie plants and unknown crystally eggs.
