Re: Pepper Seedlings Blackening

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I think I'm going to start some more and see how they fare.  I am using exactly
the same conditions for them as my other baby plants...including very healthy
tomatoes and eggplants.  I think I still have 6 weeks or so before I put them
outside, so at least there's a chance for improvement.  I don't think they
dried out, but there's a chance I drowned them...I'm using a different seedling
tray this year and the cells dry out at widely varying rates in the same tray.
Hmmm....thanks for doing the research!
