Did you add lime because you were already aware of a pH problem?

You know my foolproof soil mix... lots of composted humus (from the farmers supply since it's treated for pests and seeds, unlike the stuff in the compost heap)... 40% perlite... no peat! lol but seriously it's very easy to control the pH since the organic acids in the humus buffer pH ~6.8 and also act to chelate fertilizer components.
Good luck!
Thanks, and they do look like crap. I'm running, not walking, out to the nearest nursery this morning....I actually had to look up farmers market...lol. I live in a rural area, but there are three within five miles of me....nearest grocery store seven miles away! Now, would you personally repot so soon or try adding more lime for now? oh, I didn't add any to begin with, it was already in there. Hell, if I kill them off, lesson learned!

Sleepwalkers is playing now, that's your song, lol.
