| Was it late Feb. or early March when there were 50mph winds around here? Don't remember, but the comforter bag I had my containers in did a few somersaults.
I finally got brave enough to take a look inside. Good news is a few are in decent shape. There are sprouts in the spillover! So who knows what they could be. Oh well... I'm going to just keep on WSing. Hopefully it's not too late to duplicate what might have been ruined (especially the dried out ones in the middle). |

| I see the sprouts outside the pots! Determined, aren't they :) We've had gusts to 65 today and way too much rain - you've just about convinced me to never try a comforter bag.... |

| Can you pick up the sprouts and tuck them into some potting mix? I've seen people do that with seeds started in wet paper towels. Just a thought anyway. Hope you can salvage a few of them. |

| The rain def. put some tunnels in my containers. I'm in central, NJ. Are you Northern? |

| It's such a shame to have all that effort thwarted. The second year of winter sowing I had a young lad across the street make me a couple of crates out of left over wood from our deck and trellis for my containers. They work very well. I have put extras in old plastic laundry baskets, crates, and any other deep container I can find. You may have enough time to re-plant, but I hope you have enough seed. |
