Microwave Test – an eye opener

[magical thyme]

25. need more plants tested

Any time I buy plants, I find that some number of them just don't do so well, even with apparently the same treatment.

Same with seeds. Less than 100% germination rate. Last spring, I set out a bunch of seedlings to start hardening them off. Lost track of time and stuff. By the time I remembered them, they'd been discovered by snails. Some were intact and fine. Others, from the same packet of seeds, were eaten down to just a little stem to let me know they really had existed at some point. Over time, some get eaten by bugs. Others are stronger, healthier and more bug resistant.

Did she water the plants identically? Did they have equal drainage? Any number of things could have killed the microwave water plant.
