I'm having a real bad start to spring! I had bought Merical Grow Organic planting items, several differant things made by them. I then attempted to start everything by Certified organic seed, I planted the seeds in an eggshell to get really healthy strong roots, peppers were planted with 2 match sticks and fetilizer, peas were planted in the potting soil mix. Well ending result to this was alot of little knats on the pepper pods and the peas took off in 2 days, sprouted and then turned yellow then died. I then called a nursery to see if they sold Certified Organic plants, I was told yes and went to get them brought them home found out they were NOT Certified at all! They may have been Organic but they were not Certified anyhow come to find out the strawberry p[lants had aphids and the leaves on the peppers, tomatoes, broccoli and cucumbers all had signs of discolored yellow leaves, drying fron tip of leaf and leaves curling downward, I had planted one of the strawberry plants in a 5 gallon self watering bucket, planted banana pieces into soil 2" down and aphids up and left shop. I had cut most of the bad leaves off the tomatoes, peppers are wilting in seedling pots, broccoli is inside under grow lights with most of the peppers and a few tomato plants, the cucumbers and a few tomatoe plants are outside. The only plant that is planted is the one Fresca strawberry plant, I live in zone 3 in MD and the weather here is crazy nice one day, snow, rain and cold another, I am doing self watering, planting by the moon and loosing my mind with the plants that i bought. HELP!!! ANYONE!
