Frustrated with seedlings
I’ve never had this problem growing from seed before. They shoot up and then die or something is eating them. Only my pepper and tomatoes! Arugula and kale are fine

What’s the temperature like where they are? After a lot of warm days, it’s been cold this week. I had finally turned the heater I had running by my seedlings off and I turned it back on this week! Tomatoes and peppers are less tolerant of cold than arugula and kale.

I’m focusing on potting up starts indoors this week just in case we get some damaging temps or hail with the storm coming through this weekend. I was going to plant the next round of lettuces outside, but I think I’ll hold off just in case. I am going to plant some carrot and radish seeds though.

@Paulo Munera I’m all for taking risks and using protection and season extenders! Rain would be so welcome at this point. It was frustrating to literally see it raining above us, but not hitting the ground, Tuesday. I’m just worried it might come down as what we call “bouncy rain” (ie hail) on Friday. Last spring / summer was pretty intense in the hail department, so I’ve got lots of hail protection already assembled.

I’ve got tomatoes, peppers, herbs, flowers and a few natives going in the garage under lights. Have kale/chard/lettuce/peas planted out in the garden beds, along with some walking onion, garlic, and shallots that someone gifted me last weekend. I want to get some carrots and radishes out in the next couple of days too. So much to do!

Hello everyone! I’m Julie and I live in NW Fort Collins. We just got our place about a year ago, so I’m in the process of building hugelkultur beds for my veggies and flowers, adding native plants, and creating better bird habitat so they’ll eat all the darned grasshoppers 🤣 I can’t wait to meet some local gardening friends. I’ve also got a new seed starting setup in my garage, so I’d be up for a plant swap next month if anyone else has too much of something they’d like to share.
