Posting this a day early while I remember.

Spring. A good time for vegetables. According to some table it’s a bit late now to sow tomatoes from seed? But you could still buy seedlings.

In the warming weather what do you have planned for your landscape, pots, patch, window box - or even the lone houseplant/cactus in your apartment?

    The zucchini seedlings are going great but the oldest leaves (the initial baby leaves) are turning yellow. I don’t know if I’m underwatering, overwatering, under/over fertilising…

    They’re still in the paper cups so dry out quickly and I just water every couple of days/a few times a week to top them up. The brown drops are the second lot of diluted Powerfeed I just gave. The first was maybe 2 weeks ago, not sure.

    (I know a lot don’t like to be transplanted but I don’t use snail bait, so keep them more portable to more easily cover them at night while vulnerable. I have large pots for when they get bigger.)

      Next time if you use jiffy pots or pellets they don’t need to be removed / roots disturbed and you can just place them in the pot :)

      I’ve never grown zucchinis but I know the first set of sprouted leaves on chillis always die off. Good luck and enjoy!

        That’s a good idea, I might try those next time.

        Hmm… another source agrees that this can be normal so you’re probably right. Nice to know they’re doing okay
