I have some seedlings about 4 inches high now and they look awful! The leaves are all puckered and some have brown edges. Will try and take a pic when I find my camera. They don't look happy though!

Any ideas?

Mine are in my mini greenhouse and they are starting to look like your description.The ones sown and planted out are growing fine.I can't take pics so I'll wait to look at yours!!!

Thanks for replying! Forgot to get a photo today though! I'm thinking of planting them out at the weekend and see if they prefer it in the ground as to in a pot

Sorry guys, without a pic to see what's going on it's hard to comment. You say they are in a pot so maybe it's too small,too dry, sun scorched anything. Harden them off and plant them out and see how it goes.

I gave mine a feed of phostrogen, and as weather was nice for a change, gave them an airing out side and left mini house open all day. Put back in greenhouse last night(WEATHER GROTTY AGAIN),and they have perked up again. New leaf at moment doesn't have the crispy edges. Think combination of erratic weather and needing feed is the problem with mine!

That's one thing I haven't done, feeding! Will try that when I put them out...though I'm a bit reluctant to leave them to the mercy of those damned snails!!!
