Well if they survive my haphazard gardening regime that is.
A couple years ago I forgot to water the tomatoes and they collapsed. That's a really bad thing to do. Rule #1 - water your seedlings. Not just once either - check them every day.
This year after weeks of fussing over my onion seedlings I began to put them outdoors to harden off. A couple hours at a time, then a wee bit longer, until they were out all day long.
and then I forgot them.... outside .... all night long.
Rule #2 - Don't do this either.
Luckily I've been suffering a bit of insomnia lately (never thought I would say that) and I was laying in bed at 3:30am with nothing to do but think about gardening and I realized - ohmygod the onions!
So while they were a little scorched by frost they didn't perish entirely.
The upside of all this is that the moon was putting on quite a show when I went out to retrieve said onions. So here's a little Skywatch thrown in for good measure.
