My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we've had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it. |

@DLS good luck!I am gardening for almost 15 years. And every year some of the things just won't grow. And one year I killed a batch of 100 peppers.And then I try stuff very lazily and it works.I started nominating a surprise winner and the epic fail of every year...I wish you best luck and joy with your garden. And a bit of patience. |

What are you growing. Depending on what they are, spacing (cucumbers, squash) and possibly support (tomatoes, some peppers) may be helpful. It's always fun, and even when it goes badly... I still enjoy it. |

Those seedlings need more light and a light fan circulating the air so they build strong stems. |

In the pic we've got 2 types of indeterminate tomatoes, eggplant, and a couple flowers. The tomatoes and eggplant will go in a raised bed along with some transplants, and I'm thinking I'll try the florida weave to trellis the tomatoes. But we're just so happy to have anything germinate that I'd already consider this a smashing success lol. |

Very fun idea, I think we'll have to have our own nominations :) |

Valid! We also should not have let the tomatoes get so leggy, but we're doing what we can with what we got :) |

Awesome, it's always exciting. I did some honey but squash 1 year and wish I had grown so many more. Just kept making different things out of them. The laziest was just slicing them like fries and salting/oil and they would bake coming out sort of like sweet potatoes fries |

Exactly, no matter how great you are or how right you do stuff, there will always be something that fails. I used to really not like that part of gardening until I learned to accept that. |
