How did you seedlings die off? Did you have any grow lights?
We are so new to this and think we did a lot of things wrong and are making mental notes. We did use a grow light but had it on 24 hours a day. Probably stressed them out. We tried to move them outdoors for a couple hours at a time but think we started too early and should have put them in the shade first, then direct sunlight later. Some of them needed a bigger pot to grow in other than the tiny things we started them in.
Now the peppers and tomatoes are in their own separate larger pot sitting in natural sunlight most of the day and only one or two of them look like they won’t make it. The rest are reaching for the window. We turned them all around one night so the kids could see how the plants reach for the sun. I think next week I’ll try setting them outside for one hour at a time.
I really don’t know what I’m doing. It’s so easy to read a book or info on the web and think, “I can do this!” It’s entirely different to actually do it. I’m a slow learner.
