Well, after finally being on time this year, looks like I killed off most of my seedlings with a bit too much water a few days ago. They went yellow and never recovered.
sigh
I thought they were OK. It was about my usual routine. Oops. The seedlings were about 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches in length. Pretty tightly packed (I usually drop several seeds). Things were going so well the past 7 weeks or so, too.
I have a few seedlings still going but these were some pepper and looks like my tomato seeds (from store bought) are gone.
I still have some sweet pepper and some sort of other pepper seedlings. But now it’s late in the year. Maybe, maybe 5 months of growing. 6 if the unusually-low temps go away. They came early last year.
So I bought some 50-day tomato plants at WalMart today. I had bought sweet basil (x2) and a Rosemary yesterday.
Still my green onion roots are going (5). I have 5 more int he fridge. I’ll put them in some starters maybe tonight. Big roots on them.
So much for my hopeful big stock of tomatoes. And maybe not as many green peppers.

As I mentioned to someone else a while back, if you have a Crop Failure on something you really need for preserving, hit a local Farmer’s Market the last hour of the day, the last day of the weekend they are open.
Some vendors will practically GIVE away produce rather than take it back to the farm with them. ;)
