I buy from another reputable company so it isn't the seeds, it has to be something I am doing wrong. I am thinking the light is part of the problem. I am going to get a grow light this year and not rely on the sun so much.

I am going to get some going and put them in our covered hot tub area though. I have had great luck with putting the trays of seedlings on top the hot tub cover and that keeps the soil pretty warm since we keep our hot tub at 85F when not in use. I'm glad you moved the strawberry and pansies into your shed. I would have hated for you to lose them to the cold weather.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-2661156133984206882016-03-22T15:50:30.963-04:002016-03-22T15:50:30.963-04:00I love this post on how you are saving money garde...I love this post on how you are saving money gardening. :) I would love to start some seeds indoors but well, you know who the plant munching monster (AKA Rufus) would eat them all!
