| bout, I would say, a week ago I planted my seeds- tomatoes, Jalapenos, Kale, Cilantro, and TYEE F1 Spinach. And they've probably only had about three days worth of [worthy] sunlight do to the weather; it's 48dgrees now. (Take Note: The weather here is bipolar!) I just now put them in my greenhouse, it's roughly maybe sixty in there, anyhow, before today I've just left them inside of, my table and when I get home- if it's nice outside- I'll lay them above my car for sunlight and heat; but like I mention before the weather here is crazy, and I've found no real way to mitigate this. Finally, I planted my seeds in PeatMoss pods, and there's fuzz growing in the pods, which I presume is mold.. How do I prevent this? Are my seeds ruined? Could I still eat the harvest later on? Is there anyway to stop the growth? It would suck if I had to replant them all, respectfully. FYI: My kale seeds have already sprouted. |

| The methods you have described are so out-of-the-ordinary that it is difficult to know where to start. How about first letting us know where you live or at least your gardening zone? That would help a great deal. The peat pellets are notorious for mold and fungus problems so it is important to NOT over-water them and "white fuzz" is usually fungus growth so cut back on the watering and let them dry out on the surface a bit and it will go away. Some suggest watering them with some peroxide in the water but that only makes them wetter. The seeds are not ruined unless they have rotted from being too wet and if they survive there is no reason why you couldn't eat what they grow. I don't understand all the putting them in or on the car part. Either put them in the GH and leave them there or in the house and leave them there. You might want to go over to the Growing from Seed forum here and read the many good FAQs and discussions there about how to do this. Dave |

| I live in NE OK, and Zone 6.. The car objective was to suite my plants to be in a "greenhouse" makeshift, because My green house doesn't stay warm in the night... |
