Slaggit

Two days of scorching heat have tested my seedlings. Most have survived. One tomato has not, and I have no idea on the Swiss chard. I'll have to check it again in the morning, see if the night's relative cool on top of water has helped to revive any of them.

EDIT: Heat wave casualty toll: three of six Swiss chard, one tomato, one jalepeno, and possibly a second tomato, we'll see if it recovers.

EDIT EDIT: Dammit, that other tomato seedling keeled over as well. Ah well. Planting more seeds in the morning, I guess.

Rats. We've had good luck with our potting mix-- the silage and compost we used is really helping retain moisture.

Ne, do you water seedling once a day, or twice a week, or... how often??

Before the heat wave hit I was watering every other day. Now I'm up to twice a day. :/
