I planted some seeds to get ready for my vegetable garden this summer and I noticed that there is mold growing on my wood labels. Are my seeds still good to use for crops this summer or should I start over? I won’t lie I’ve been bad about giving them attention the last couple of weeks, I’m usually pretty good about taking the top off once a day and having better airflow.

The mold isn’t to worry about… But some of those seedlings are super leggy trying to get more light and will likely dampen off. Can you increase the light?
Soil looks dry, bottom watering? So as for the leggy seedlings, tall and falling over seedlings, these need to be off heat and placed within inches of your lights. I’d also thin out the cells containing several leggy seedlings to one.

Once the seedlings have emerged (popped up) they no longer need a humidity dome. Leave them uncovered.
Some of these look very etiolated, very “leggy.” Make sure they are getting enough light. Don’t rely on a window, especially at this time of year (winter.)
If they are on a heat mat, take them off it.
Don’t worry about the wood labels.
