I was just at Lowe's and they sell these poorly made green houses with metal shelves and a crappy plastic cover. I have an old metal shelf and I'm thinking of making it into a green house with since vapor barrier that my H has been saving. That way I can move my seedlings out of the house sooner.

OH no!!! Did anything make it out? We're expecting a nor'easter tonight into tomorrow Probably not. It toppled over and MH scooped up what he could, so we’ll see. This happened last year so I put it in a different spot this year and weighed it down, but we had some pretty big gusts this morning. I think what this tells me is I need a real glass greenhouse. 😉 There's a house in my neighborhood that has a giant solarium. It looks like a jungle in there and it makes me jealous. |

DS wanted to buy these sunflower and snap pea mini pots from Targets dollar section. The peas were missing seeds so it turned into two sunflower mini pots. Unless they were embedded in the dirt pod...then I don't know what we'll get.
I also started snap peas from fresh peas.

I don't think any of my peppers or eggplant are germinating. We are just shy of the two week mark....and there are so many conflicting opinions as to how long these take to germinate that I'm not sure whether to wait a little longer or try again.
Herbs are doing awesome.

Herbs are doing awesome. I also just hit the two week mark with my peppers and finally got one (of 5) to sprout. I'm giving it another few days before I re-sow. Glad your herbs are thriving! |

This makes me feel better. The packets say 2-3 weeks but everything I have read says 5-8 days. Let me know how it goes for you! |

I hate you all a little bit. Its still super cold here and we won't be planting for at least 2.5 months. I think I'll start my aerogarden tonight though, I miss my herbs.

Okay so I have these marigolds and they sprouted and then their two little sprout leaves died? The stems are strong though and still straight up. I dont get it...the environment should be good....they are appropriately wet.....but most are just seedling stems now.
Has anyone come across this?

I planted like a half dozen and only one remains. It's frustrating because when I google "growing marigolds from seed," I see a lot of articles about how they are super easy to grow, and are great for kids. |

All the issues I can find are after the true leaves have sprouted. Huh. I guess I'll just let them be and see if something happens/if this is just part of their cycle or something. |

I think I might have overestimated the lifespan of the peat growing capsules. I might need to up pot pretty soon and definitely split some of the herb seedlings up.
