Help for Helmet Heads

janezee · May 10, 2012

Because so many of my seeds are sprouting later than others, and they're in the same flat,
the plastic cover has been removed, and the seeds that are coming later are drier.
Spray and spit didn't work for many of them.

So I went into the first aid kit (human) and cut a few pieces of gauze,
small enough to tent over the new seedlings, and sprayed them with water.
Within 24 hours, most of them had either shed their helmets,
or were soft enough for me to assist them.

So now I have even more tomatoes to find room for!
