Hello all
I sowed only yesterday, so no legginess yet! It’s one reason I recommend not before mid February, and this year the forecasts have been flagging cold weather in the medium outlook for a while.
So after two weeks on my hotbed, I move the germinated seedlings to a bench in the greenhouse where there is no heat, and sometimes they freeze.
But everything one sows at this time of year can tolerate some frost. Main thing is as much light as possible.
On v cold nights we lay a fleece over.
I sow tomatoes 20th March on average.
Courgettes in April etc.
