Hi All,
Hope we are all well and getting massively excited at the warming weather and spring like conditions.
I got rather carried away last weekend with the mrs [not in that sense] and we sowed literally thousands of seeds in 4 windowsill propogators I bought at my local pound land. Not expecting much success I am pleased to say we have been successful and all seeds have germinated. Vegetables sown include kale, brussel sprouts, cos lettuce, spring onions, purple sprouting broccoli, pak choi, red cabbage and savoy cabbage.
All the seedlings are approximately 4cm tall and very thin and are falling over. I'm guessing I didnt plant the seeds deep enough but I could be wrong. My question is [i got there in the end] is that when i decide to plant them on into larger plots to put in my dads greenhouse should i bury them half way up the stem to provide support or will this cause the delicate stems to rot when surrounded in compost.
I dont want to lose them!
Any comments would be much appreciated.
Happy Gardening, Ross
