My seeds Booooohoooo

Post: # 91080Post WendyHouse »

I was so proud of how my seedlings where coming along. I had about 10 trays of different veg seeds growing quite nicely in my 5 shelved cold frame. I was happily making a cuppa in the kitchen looking out the window at the trees blowing around and then I saw it.............. My cold frame falling over in the wind. :shock: Oh man I could have cried. The whole lot fell over into a pile on the ground. I picked as many seedlings out and replanted them, but they are all mixed up now. :cry: Have to start again now. :?

My sympathies! I think most of us have been there with cold frames and mini greenhouses and tunnels blowing away in the wind. :cry:

But but...that just adds to the fun...random seedlings growing, not knowing which one's which til they get to a good size!

Its how my veg patch ends up every year...

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that... I have some seeds out in the ground already, but covered up with fleece - so far I managed to keep the fleece on the ground (on top of a "cage") - but with all that wind I except something to take off one of these days!

My seedlings are still all in the house. That's dangerous enough for my liking - you know, cats and seed trays... :roll:
