my seedlings are doing not so well....

I sowed (sp??) quite some seeds last year, at the end of Summer/Autumn Whistling

As it was my first time I didn't want to leave them outside during the Winter, beacuse I was afraid they would die in the cold
(in hindsight I might better have, we had a VERY mild Winter..)
So I bought a growtent and put them in the garage with lamps above them Thumbs up

Then life happened and in January/February I had no time to take good care of them Sighing!
Gnats and aphids ran amok... Sad
I ordered baby Ladybugs, but before they could eat enough of the aphids, my seedlings looked like this...

Today I picked the largest and the smallest survivors and took them out of their pots to look at their roots
because I think the leaves will grow again if the roots are ok..

And lo and behold (I love that phrase! Hilarious! ), look at that!
the smallest plant

So, looking at the roots my seedlings had a really hard setback, but will be able to recover Hurray!


Next question of course is..... WHERE to put them?? Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
