The last 2 years have been such crummy growing seasons that I want the seedlings as great as they can be when I plant out because the weather sure isn't going to cooperate! Maybe I should start knitting coats for all the plants, too, what with the cool nights!

lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one that had less than mediocre growing seasons the past 2 years. I've learned more each time, but it is frustrating. I had gotten some tomatoes, eggplant, and canteloupes from a nursery, and even they were pretty much failures.
