RIP Tomatoes

Dear Tomato Seedlings,

I am not worth of the dirt under my fingernails.  I have failed to understand your exact needs, and now because of my black greenhouse thumb, half of you will never reach your God given potential. 

I vow to learn from the mistakes i made that cost you your life. 

1. Do not leave tomato flats on a heat mat after they have sprouted.  Especially in a heated greenhouse.  Especially when the outside temps reach 60 degrees F.
2. When planting in a greenhouse, experiment with heater and vent/fan timers BEFORE you sow anything.  These devices are quirky little buggers!
3. Check moisture levels twice a day!
4. Have ladybugs on hand to deal with aphid infestations.  Grrrr!

Hoping that you can find it in your poor, shriveled hearts to forgive such a rookie like me.

I promise to do better next year!

Fondly,
Whit
