Insanely slow seedling growth!

I've also had a germination quandry, in grass seed. A bare spot of 6' in length and only 3' wide. I added bagged soil to the existing soil raking it in ti incorporate. Using Scotts bare patch mix and some straight bluegrass seed and with plenty of rain there was nothing.
So I shook out the entire shaker of grass seed, which should have covered 3 x the area I had, then using the rest of the bag of older bluegrass seed I went for broke. Still nodda.
So I'm watering with a water can with kelp and Wa-Lah! just today I see grass seedlings. This after 5 weeks, way more seed than necessary and rain, rain, rain. Crazy year...

Hi All,

Just to follow up on my sad tomato saga. My poor babies never recovered and while I did plant out a number of the still stunted sprout-lets, I doubt I will have any tomatoes this year. My fault that I only ordered from 1 source (Blue Ribbon Tomatoes). The seeds were probably damaged in the mail.

Luckily, my other veggies have really taken off & I have lots of zucchini and bush & pole beans plus impending eggplants, carrots, onions & winter squash. Just no toms except, potentially, from 2 volunteer plants from these crazy prolific 'Patio' cherry tomatoes I grew last year. I have no idea what these tomatoes will be like as the parent was a hybrid (reportedly) and likely originally mis-labeled (I wrote about them last year). Hopefully, they are tasty/palatable - I'm excited to see their final shape/size/color. Will update if they are worthwhile.

Well at least you'll have some homegrown tomatoes!

Yes, but they may be alien weirdos!
