This is the first time it’s happenened:
I overwatered the tomato seedlings and one hasn’t survived. Fortunately, a new one has popped up and it is is from a packet which has lots of seeds (in comparison with the organic tomato seeds).
On the other hand, as can also be seen in the above photo, the echinacea have survived the winter, producing what seem to be strong new leaves. Perhaps they would have been okay outside but I’m glad I didn’t chance it.

As one usually has too many tomato plants in the end (at least, that always happens to us), one seedling less does not really matter. But pity that it was one of the organic ones.
Actually no, it was one of the non-organic ones. I’m pleased about keeping all three organic seedlings, which are doing well, so far. Good point about generally having a surfeit of tomato plants!
I left my echinacea outside. Not noticed any new growth yet. You may have been right to bring it in!
How big is your echinacea? Mine were only seedlings last year rather than plants.
I think mine were at least a year old. I got them as full plants rather than from seed.
They will probably be fine – just take a bit longer to get going but you won’t have to harden them off.
Probably.
I don’t think I hardened them off last time. Butt hen it would have been summer before they arrived… Which makes my comment moot. >.<
Sorry you lost a seedling. I never have much luck with seedlings…I can’t seem to keep them alive. But I’m hopeful that I’ll figure it out and I’m trying again this year. Just with some herbs, but we’ll see.
Good luck this year!
