Sunday Blues











The last picture perfect Sunday before we lose daylight saving time. Someone should solve this problem. Yesterday afternoon I rotated my compost pile. Exciting, I know. It rained the last couple of days so needless to say this thing was full of some pretty putrid brown water. Not pleasant but it makes a great natural liquid fertilizer.
So I drained this stuff out of the composter, diluted it with water and fertilized all of my plants. When I got up this morning half of my seedlings were dead. DON'T DO THIS. Even a mild fertilizer is not good for seedlings. Let them do their thing and plan on feeding them when they get a couple of weeks older. Lesson learned. Time to reseed.
