I am always happy to answer gardening or seed questions (even if you bought seeds elsewhere). If I don't know the answer I'll look it up!
Comment:
I've been trying to grow from seeds & they sprout fine,
but, then when I replant they have been dying. Don't know what I'm doing wrong,
might give these seeds a try, but, still have some left of ones I've bought.
Would appreciate any advice. Thank u for ur
time.
Response:
Thank you for your interest in Mary's Heirloom Seeds. There are several factors to consider if your seedlings are
dying after being transplanted.
Water: Are you
watering enough or too much?
Soil: How is the
quality of your soil? Are you growing in
containers or in-ground and is the soil compacted or does it have good
drainage?
Roots: Are the
delicate roots being disturbed when they are transplanted?
Soil should be kept moist but not constantly soaked or
puddled. Certain plants like nutrient dense soil, others like light and airy
soil. When transplanting it is important to disturb the roots as little
as possible. For this I plant seeds in Peat Pellets.

If you have any question please feel free to ask.

ReplyDeleteI've got a bunch of great resources for DIY garden projects and growing from seeds instruction.
Wonderful blog Mary. Lots of great tips. We are leasing for the next year or two, so we can not dig in the ground. I love your tips on planting in containers.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these awesome tips on Tiny Tip Tuesday! Thankfully we've had pretty good luck with our transplants this year, but there were a few years I remember that I had the same experience as the your reader and wish I'd known these things back then :)
