My Poor Babies!

We have been having triple digits here the past two weeks or so...well, it did dip down into the 90s last week. We held a garage sale the weekend of the 6-7th of July and so had to clear off the big table and take it out to the carport. I had my seedlings setting on the table in a big tray...each one planted in its own little earthen pot. My daughter took my seedlings...tomato and pepper seedlings...and stuck them up on the refrigerator...and forgot them! Well, we found them three days ago and rushed to water them. One has survived! All my tomatoes are gone and all but one bell pepper plant. I suppose it serves me right for trying to grow them from seeds. I need to buy the plants, I guess...or plant them earlier in the season, at least, before the hot weather hits! What has been your greatest garden tragedy? Have you ever tried to grow tomatoes and peppers from seeds? How early do you plant the seeds inside before transplanting outside and how long does it take for them to be ready to go outside? Can you tell I'm a novice gardener? lol
