Not a happy plant day

Well I took the seedlings home so Cassidy and I could plant them. Most of them didn't have their "real" leaves yet so I was keeping them in the starter tray, and had moved it outside to get more light on an overcast day. I completely forgot that I had done this and left them out over the weekend. It got cold and wet one day and cloudless and very bright the next. When I came to the plants most of them had been bleached out and were clearly not doing well. The survivors were the sunflowers, the peppers (though not ready to plant) the radishes, and the pumpkins. Only 1/9th of the cumin that I planted sprouted but it looks as if it will survive, and a couple of the onions and chives might make it.

Plant Update

I'm bringing the non-pea starts home today so hopefully Cassidy and I can plant some this weekend. Here is the current state of them.

The peas haven't sprouted yet and I am going to grow them in my office so they won't be coming home.

Robotics Competition

Western Washington University's Computer Science department is hosting a students robotics competition in which I will be one of the judges, I am also responsible for getting the video recording done, and release forms signed. I should soon have some pictures to post.

New Plantings

This year I decided to do some starts for a garden in my office where it is nice and warm and free from little hands knocking them over. Things were growing great until I had a week long unplanned vacation over which they all died. Well today I start over.
