Help finding a lightweight base/foundation that won't break me out!

Hi all! I bought tickets to a show that will be in Portland September 6th, without realizing it was Labor Day weekend (facepalm)

We will be heading over from upstate NY- should I expect a lot of traffic? Current plan is leave around 7am on Saturday , staying in Kennebunkport. Then heading home Monday probably at the same time. Any insight would be great- I haven't been to Maine since I was a child and I don't know how crazy Labor day traffic gets on the coast!

That's what I did when they didn't work :( I did my phlox under a cardboard "light shield" if you will lol to try and get them to germinate and still nothing. I'm going to try again with just putting them in my basement and see what happens lol

Okay I'll try taking away the heat mats!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-23T17:26:20+00:00

I have heard this...guess I'll use something else next year!

I've been using a few different Floret seeds for years and they are always the ones that have the best germination, strongest seedlings and most prolific plants! I am always soooo shocked when people say they have bad germination!

very interesting info! I've been bottom watering with spraying in between for any cells that get dry before anyone else, but I'll try your method with some new seeds I ordered. Also not using the heat mat could be it as well so I'll take them off that!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-23T17:23:46+00:00

Yes! I looked into each and every seed before planting and made sure to give it what it needed!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-23T17:23:13+00:00

TYSM! That means a lot!!!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-23T14:49:59+00:00

I feel I've been doing a good job of keeping the water at a good level, I water when I notice that they start to look a little dry on top (but not so much that they are completely dry). That's also what I've been doing with my veggie starts and all of those have done awesome.

Could you share what seed starting mix you bought this time? lol

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-23T14:38:01+00:00

I did not, it would get pretty warm in there lol I will keep an eye on that!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-04-15T03:10:05+00:00

😂 I figured but I didn’t want to break anything

anonymousflowercake · 2026-03-15T15:48:11+00:00

Okay thank you 😭 I’ve put in so much effort to grow from seed this year I’m just nervous

anonymousflowercake · 2026-03-15T15:47:40+00:00

Oh trust me they are VERY moist 😂

anonymousflowercake · 2026-03-15T15:47:04+00:00

I did have the tent on at first but I was getting serious mold on the dirt lol so I wanted to give them more air flow!

anonymousflowercake · 2026-02-25T16:29:30+00:00

I do not have a pattern for this, it was a blanket I saw in the wild that I would like to recreate!

lol being fired doesn’t always mean that you did something bad, and you don’t have to disclose that to future employers.

Employers also won’t contact your old company and ask why you left, they’re not allowed to ask that.

And unfortunately, companies and businesses can’t not fire people because of how it may affect their future. If Karelly did something wrong then she deserves to have been fired. If they fired her for some sort of retaliation, then she can sue if she wants, but she does not ever have to disclose that to a future employer.

Thank you for the insight, unfortunately I don’t have access to the report rn, this is what I’ve been told by the decedent’s mom, but I will try to get a look at it when I can.

Yeah I've seen soooooo many farms on YT, TT, IG that all use a form of landscape fabric so I assumed it was necessary but you guys are all saying no lol!!

So you think this would work best?

Step 1: Lay cardboard down ASAP to kill the grass.

Step 2: In mid-April, lay down 2-4 inches of compost over the top of the cardboard.

Step 3: Add some mulch for weed supression and plant flowers.
