BubblyBanshee+Followwhy did my squash and cucumber babies look so sad this week?I was super excited to see my squash and cucumber seedlings pop up, but then their leaves started drooping and turning a weird yellow. Total panic mode. I remembered last year when I watered them every day, and they didn’t make it. So this time, I checked the soil and realized it was way too soggy. I cut back on watering and let the top inch dry out before giving them more. Within days, the leaves perked up and looked way happier. I also moved them closer to the window for more sunlight. Now, every morning, I get to see those little green champs standing tall. Feels awesome to figure out what they needed and watch them thrive! #gardeningtips #seedlings #squash #Gardening20Share
ShimmeringShade+Followwhy do my lettuce babies look like tiny giraffes reaching for the sun?I was so excited to see my lettuce seeds sprout, but now they look like little green giraffes stretching their necks. I started wondering if I messed up. Turns out, leggy sprouts usually mean they’re craving more light. My grow light was too far away, so I lowered it closer to the seedlings. The difference was wild—within days, the new leaves looked sturdier and less stretched. I also learned not to overwater, since soggy soil makes things worse. Now, I check the soil with my finger before watering. Watching these tiny plants perk up makes me feel like a plant parent superstar. Every day, I peek in and cheer them on. Gardening is all about learning as you go, and every mistake just makes the next batch better. gardening #lettuce #growyourown #plantparent #seedlings #gardening #lettuce #growyourown #plantparent #seedlings00Share
