I mentioned that I threw away the 4 1/2" pot that had mold growing in the seed starting episode. I took a washed out soup can and started some more bunching onions in seed starting mix I had sifted from the potting mix and added vermiculite plus a pinch of bone meal. Water soaked that down and planted my seeds. That was a couple days ago. I go out this morning and it looks like mold growing again. Where the he!! did that come from. I thought for awhile and was thinking it comes from the water. I have two cups generally in the back room when I chew. One coffee and one water drinking from both. I figure I must be contaminating the water with the coffee when I drink from it. Coffee, sugar and milk tainting the water which is causing the mold to grow. I have been using the water cup to water the seed starting mix with.

Looks like I will trash that can of seeds started and start over using fresh tap water this time.

All the stuff growing on the patio deck garden are still alive. Until cold weather knocks out the summer crops with the nip in the air. The tomatoes grew up but did not leaf out too well or flower. Squash are stunted in growth from cool weather.
