@dave, I don't know! I think my friend over-watered them, and I saw the soil he used, and it was a bag that said, "Garden Soil". I Totally thought he knew what he was doing
But, lesson learned. Last year I visited his garden and it looked very productive and healthy. He started all of his seeds himself.
Good thing the seeds last a couple years. Any tips to speed them up? I am thinking some compost tea and liquid kelp.
I started black cherry toms about two weeks ago, and they are bigger and more robust than the others.
