Leaking Tool Shed

Sooo... it's been raining. Not a problem - I have a great new greenhouse up - the crops are fine.

BUT the tool shed that I had all the tools and seeds in, sprung a leak... RIGHT over the bowl that had the seeds in them. Yep... Seed Stew :(

I'm sitting here right now trying to dry out the clumps of seeds before they sprout and then dry the bags they came in without too much heat to destroy the integrity of the seeds.

Truth be told, I really am more angry about my stupidity than anything. I usually have my seeds in plastic zip bags to keep out moisture. UGH! What was I thinking? Well - I wasn't thinking! So...now I'm stuck with clumps of seeds I can barely see - although - to put a more positive spin on it - the pumpkin and corn seeds were rather easy to separate.


I'll probably give up and just dump everything... there are seeds like the lavender that I've had for years and am attached to. But I am going to give them the day to dry out before I give up completely. Then I guess it will be a free for all dump (just to see what grows) in a couple of large pots I have that are empty, and then a trip to Lowes to replenish my losses.

*Sigh and Whimper*


All the days can't be perfect, right?? Some days you have to use those green thumbs to force/hold your mouth in a smile when things go bad.

Okay... *takes a deep breath and goes to check on the seeds again*
