My Seed Starting Experience This Season

This spring, I started my seeds pretty early. But the results have been just dismal. I used Miracle potting mix with seed starting trays with flats. They are covered and heated with heat mat, near my sun room. The temp was like 75F to 80F.

Most of the seeds came up, tomato, peppers, cukes, okra, etc. But the little seedlings just stayed there, like about 2" tall. No more growing. Some of the tomato seedlings just died, even though they are watered, but not water clogged.

Since most of the seeds are warm season seeds, I just replanted them directly in ground. They do much better with direct seeding. So the seeds should be good.

I can't explain the dismal seed starting results...
