I'm beginning to think it was the Miracle Grow soil-less potting mix. I've
never had this happen before.

I have a small question to ask. This year when I started my seedlings
from
seeds, I ended up with a lot of them not doing much. All new seed, but I
used miracle grow potting soil and I wonder if the fertilizer in this mix
was too strong for starting seeds? Any comments?

I don't know about fertilizer *harming* seedlings, but I've always
started mine in a soil-less starter mix with no ammendments. Seeds
have enough 'food' to sustain sprouting and early growth (those first
1-2 pairs of true leaves). I use *very* dilute fertilizer only after
transplanting to individual pots.
