So mum and dad visited on friday, bringing a huge supply of grow bags and compost (thanks!). He took one look at the tomato seedlings and burst out laughing, suggesting they looked like something you might see growing on stage around christmas time! So I've started some new ones. I'll keep the others going but I think he's probably right they will be a bit on the leggy side! Apparently airing cupboards not required for seed germination afterall!
The chillis have started poking through though, so lesson learnt from the tomatoes - after checking them everyday the minute any of them started showing signs of life they were wisked from their very warm spot and put on the windowsill instead. I'm hoping they will grow a big chunkier than their 1st lot of tomato friends.
