I feel you pain. No, no, seriously, I was about to accuse Pepp3rFreak of setting me up with dud seeds. Then there was a glorious moment of a little seedling sighting.

Now I join everyone else in ragging your ass.
 
OK....first hurdle comes...I have a start of green mold on the top of my seed starting soil...is this going to hurt the seedlings and how do I get rid of the mold?? I may have been overwatering the seedlings....

What! Give Aid and Comfort to the Enemy? Are you mad?

*heavy sigh* oh. Ok.

Dilute chamomile tea, baby powder, and corn meal are all supposed to help. A light spraying with Neem oil will also help.

Um, if you're after Neem, be sure you spray lightly. The little seedlings have delicate leaves. Might just spray the soil.

No, I've just read several articles about it working. Some people use it on their skin for mystery rashes and the like. I know it's very trendy in green circles to use corn meal to suppress weed growth on your lawn. You put it on in the spring for the weeds, and as it decomposes it adds nitrogen to the soil. I've tried in on my lawn, and it did work, but it was too expensive to get it from the lawn care folks. I never tracked down a feed store or some place that might sell it cheap.

That is the first time I have ever heard of using cornmeal...my grandmother used to use corn starch on me when I had heat rash under my arms in the summer time...wonder if corn starch would work like corn meal?

I just started another blog with pics for the Naga Contest..
