Yeah, glad for the longer days, but very discouraged. Greenhouse plants doing terrible.
haven't had many nice sunny days lately and it's very humid and it seems like maybe the CFLs I've added have warmed it too much and made the mildew grow ?? I have white mildew looking stuff all over the soil in almost ALL of the plants in there. Cleaned it off the top layer - and sprayed it with some neem oil (which said it was good for powdery mildew) -- but I'm not really sure it's powdery mildew since it wasn't on the leaves

I have great luck getting everything sprouted and then it goes downhill from there. I'm sure I'll learn over time, but my visions of eating arugula, lettuce and radishes this winter seem to be disappearing. darn. And I thought because I have a "green thumb" with house plants that this would be easy for me.

My passion is painting but gardening is running a close second.
