  • What to do with new seedlings!??

    I am busy starting off tomatoes, aubergines and peppers inside on a windowsill so in temps of about 18 to 21 degrees C. They're just up, but I'm worried about them getting leggy. Is it OK to move them into an unheated greenhouse now they're up? Or will it be too cold???

    I have been told, (by other grapes) that aubergines and peppers need to be kept indoors until it is at least 5 degrees at night in the greenhouse. So I am keeping mine indoors for a while yet.
    I havent sown my tomatoes yet so no idea about those

    I am sure a more knowledgable grape will be along soon to put us right

      I never trust mine in the unheated greenhouse till half past May - it can still go down to freezing at night until then. I put them out in the day and bring them back in at night. The exercise is great! I do about 1o journeys to anf from the grrnhouse at the end of the garden, morning and night!

      It does depend on where you live. If you are in a sheltered area you will get away with it earlier in the year. That's why we northerners don't sow our toms too early.
      Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

        A bit of kitchen foil behind them helps a bit

          I have mine in an unheated propogator in an unheated greenhouse-touch wood, they are doing well.

          The seeds germinated in 3 days which caught me on the hop a bit, and almost instantly went into leggy mode.

          My theory is, if it goes wrong, there is plenty of time to sow fresh seed
