R.I.P. Lettuce Seedling

Oh so sad... My poor lettuce seedling crumpled up and dried (died). :( I have replaced it with one of the spinach seedlings that I hope will fair better.

Also, I threw out the strawberry plant. It had stopped fruiting and grown mold all over its soil...

Day 21



The tomato plants are growing quickly. :) I have removed the netting from around the pot. It seems the cats are more interested in the netting itself than the little tomato plants. In fact, I think Mable is asleep in the netting right now. Also, there has been a surge of small flies around the plants that I am attempting to exterminate with a vegetable plant safe pesticide. It is killing them slowly. There are just so many! One good thing is that they are dumb and slow and so we are able to smack them dead. Yeah!


I have moved the pepper seedlings into their own pot. They are doing well too! The cats don't seem to have any interest in the pepper seedlings so far. Again, I'm not sure if I've planted too many seedlings in the same pot, but we shall see.



The same day I planted the only lettuce seedling that germinated. See the little guy?
