Armenian Cucumbers
Hey everyone. I had to transplant my Armenian cucumbers into a bigger container. The dirt fell apart and disturbed the roots. Will they survive or should I just plant more seeds just in case they don’t survive? Update: It looks like only one is surviving. I guess that might be all I need since I’m hearing this get massive and I really don’t have a lot of space. Added new picture.

The more roots and dirt the better. I would plant more seed just to be safe.
Happy and Sad that it rained!
So, here in the Raleigh, NC area, we are in a drought. The night before last it rained. Today it rained again. But I'm conflicted. You see, Thursday morning, I put two seeding trays on the back deck to harden off. I had my pepper starts, a few basil starts, and my oregano start in those trays. Then I pulled my back right after I put them out there and spent most of the day flat on my back recovering. I think two of my peppers survived. The basil and oregano are gone. Not sure where, they're just gone. Guess I'm going to direct seed the rest!

Sorry Betsy. Hang in there.
How do you store your seeds?
I know this topic has been discussed before, but I think it’s great to hear what works for everyone. I used to keep my seeds randomly in a large envelope or ziplock bag. But when I started gardening again, I realized I like to be able to see my collection. I put everything in old binders with card sleeves. I chose categories that worked for me (Alliums, Brassicas, Flowers, Fruit, Herbs, etc.) I then heard about using an inventory sheet, and that was just the best thing I added. The most important part being expiration dates on the inventory sheet! So now I can look for my oldest seeds on the sheet without having to look at each and every envelope. How do you store your seeds? What didn’t work for you? Please share with pictures!

I store my seeds in along wooden box. Put them in my clothes closet. Cool & dark. I also made an Excel spreed sheet to track the things I want. Eventually the seed box will match the spreed sheet!!

@Julie Vigil I track about 10 things. The nice thing about Excel is that you can add and move things around easily. I’m just learning Excel. Never too late!!!!!!
