Could be a toxicity of some kind, maybe due to water? But hard to say.

The water is an interesting thought. I've used the same watering container for years and years. AFAIK, it has never been cleaned out. I do see some "pink stuff" on the walls as well as a lot of lime scale, so time to clean it out. One less variable. As I write this, it is being de-scaled. I'll neutralize it when finished. It may take overnight to finish.

All of the last batch of seeds were planted today, exactly as planned above. Six varieties in all:
Pervaya Lyubov (sp?)
MatSu Express (the new F9)
Galahad F1
Banana Toes (dwarf)
Pale Perfect Purple
Maglia Rosa
High hopes, especially for MatSu and Galahad F1.

I really expect no issues, since these will go outside after just a few weeks. I do have a gallon jug of 1/3 strength tomato "pink water" mixed up for application starting at about 3 weeks.
