Somehow I always mess up on seedlings.

Last year the identifying markers faded in the greenhouse and I couldn't tell the squash plants apart.

The year before the identifying markers on the table got separated from the planters with the plants were moved.

This year - I'm well aware of what my plants are - but after last night's ferocious winds, they are now upside down on the patio. They were sitting on the table and blew off.

Now this isn't the tale of Job. I'll gather them up and stick undamaged plants back in the pots and some of them will be okay. But it is always something with the seedlings. Next year I'm building a proper cold frame and using all my accumulated experience to figure this stuff out.

Because, as God is my witness, I will conquer this situation! It will not get the best of me! I've kind of had it with putting a lot of work into something and having it fail at the last minute because I moved on to something else. My seedlings will be in a sturdy box on the ground throughout spring, getting enough light and warmth until they are ready to be planted.
