The pepper plant and tomato plant I put on the heating pad almost immediately started to wilt. I think the pad is only good for starting seeds. Any other time or even if it is left on for too long into the seed's growth it seems to have a negetive effect on them. I am getting my garden ready by putting up rabbit fence and tilling the ground once more. In a week or so I will be transplanting all my plants outdoors. It is starting to look like a forest in here with all these different plants every where.
