Me again! Thanks to everyone who answered my garlic question. Now hopefully I can get some opinions on this one. I planted several cells of herb seeds several weeks ago in mid April and they’ve now sprouted and are growing quite well, except that some are wilting. When I take a closer look, it seems [...]
