This is my widowsill - above a radiator so it's very warm. These were sown on Weds 24th Feb - peas 3 out of 5 sprouted and looking good. Tomatoes all sprouted, they seem to stop growing but there are teeny tiny signs of the true leaves coming through.
These
are my Saturday 27th seedlings - not quite so good - I didn't put them
on this heated mat till a week later, oops! But you can see how hot it
gets - too hot really. And the compost dries up quickly. So I prefer my
windowsill... fortunately I could use my heated mat for raising bread
instead!
The
peas are big enough to start 'hardening off' - getting them gradually
used to a cooler place so I can plant outside in a couple of weeks. I've
put them in our 'garage' - its more like a garden shed...
I've got a light on the tomatoes as they were growing long and skinny trying to get the light. The windowsill is still better I now think, and cheaper!
