Se...Well - they do say 'it's not easy being green'. Seems like it's not easy to stop either .. as I'm sure your boots and phone still show (hopefully the rest of you has scrubbed up ok and reverted to normal). Guess it's all in a days work!<BR/><BR/>Your windowsill plants look ok to me. It is a challenge to stop them getting leggy indoors. Ideally a cold frame gives them more light - but I'm sure it is still too cold for that yet. I see in the pic that they are very slightly below the level of the window. Maybe if you propped them up higher they might get more light. Also, try putting silver foil behind them to reflect more light back.<BR/><BR/>Someone said recently in their blog how, when they potted their tomato seedlings on, that they covered the lower stem with soil. Don't know if that would work with marigold and brocoli - could be worth trying it with a couple just to see.<BR/><BR/>Glad the rudbeckia's are coming out - it's so exciting to see those first shoots.Ferris Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112537164554514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175357679393035555.post-74943926403768649592009-02-27T15:19:00.000+00:002009-02-27T15:19:00.000+00:00Your little planty things look better than anythin...Your little planty things look better than anything I've ever tried to grow Linzi, can you come and paint my rabbit shed please, you sound like a professional painter and decorator now with those cheeks on view!artbykarieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316253118493344384noreply@blogger.com
