Lessons Learned #1

So, I spent this morning transferring all of my veggies from the seed tray to pots. I was getting a lovely fungus growing on them and needed to transfer them before I normally would (I was originally planning on transferring them directly to the containers). After some internet research it looks like something called "damping off". This comes from the peat pellets and too much moisture. Evidently it's fairly common, so I don't feel like a complete idiot. The remedies are supposedly transferring them to soil. If that doesn't work, then some organic remedies are sprinkling them with cinnamon or watering them with a mixture of water and strong chamomile tea. Beyond that, there's chemicals, but I'm trying to avoid those. So, here's hoping this works. In general, though, they're still growing and looking pretty good. Hopefully that's a good sign.
