Outdoor Autos - First Grow

3/28: Germinated 6 seeds in a cup of water for 24 hours, then moved to some jiffy peat pads. Soaked the jiffy peat pads for too long so they were a bit too wet most likely. Kept the seeds/peats indoors under light for 12-18 hours a day until sprout for warmth. I dropped the peat pads at one point so I lost the labels. There are 2 of each so I should be able to figure it out - but a bummer nonetheless. 4/8. 2 tall sprouts, 2 just coming through, 2 nothing. Got to about 2" and then moved directly to the 5 gal fabric pots outside. All outside by 4/9. I used Kellogg organic potting soil and organic mulch. Chilly first couple of nights for 4 of the 6 (got down to 41 one night but was high 40s the others). I lightly watered after putting the peats into the pots. There were bugs all over these pots pretty quick. I had some fertilizer and neem oil on the way. 4/9 First full water, I started with week one of the fertilizer plan. Probably way too early for nutrients at this point, but was excited. 4/11 Put the basil, peppermint, and chamomile around. 4/12 I sprayed with neem oil and silica for an organic fertilizer - also sprayed the plants around these. Monday the bugs were much lighter but obviously concerned about overwhelming them. Last note is that I had to bury 3 of the sprouts a bit because they were too tall and looked fragile. Two were easy (added soil) and one plant was a bit sloppy. They look good now though.
