The prior seedling didn’t make it, found it bent over and it didn’t recover. I assume to dampening off disease and/or environmental conditions. This little lady is not holding back though. She’s popped out to greet the world!
With this popped straight into the dirt, I won’t have to worry about hardening it off… but seedlings outdoors are very fragile. I will have to watch closely for tiny caterpillars, bending, wind/rain… you get the picture lol.
