Gardening Mistakes: 101

So I got home two days ago and decided to water my 'garden'. I had watered it really well a couple of days prior, and we had some fantastic weather!

I probably should also mention at this point that I made my own red-neck green house. I thought I'd be clever, and take my dog kennell, put all my seedlings inside and cover it with plastic. (PRETTY GENIUS, I THOUGHT!)

The bricks were to keep the wind from ripping the plastic off.

For a couple of weeks now, this idea has worked beautifully! Everything has been snug as a bug in a rug. Unfortunately, I didn't think very far into the future. NOTE TO SELF: when the weather is warm, green houses need ventilation.

As soon as I pulled that plastic back, a rush of warm air hit me in the face and half of my weaker plants were gone! Shrivelled up to nuthin'! 

Poor Tomatoes!

My heart was broken! I was doing so well! I was so proud! ugh. Not my garden! I never thought it would get so warm that it would kill them. They were gone. *pout face* 

And here's the weird part: I had two sets of seedlings. When we first bought the house, I went and bought some cheap seeds and started sprouting them up. A few weeks ago, I bought organic seeds and did a separate round of the same veggies. The organic seeds were the ones that died! Wonder what that means?!

Oh well...

Tonight: I replanted. I'll have fresh veggies again in no time! Thankfully, it's the beginning of the season. PLUS, I know that my greenhouse works! It just works really well. I just need to install a 'ventilation system' and I'm back in business!

Dead veggies aren't gonna get me down!
