If they grow,they will need loadsa light! If you don´t have grow lights directly above the seedlings,at this time of year with low light levels,they will probably give up the ghost. Once the seedlings are up,turn the boxes daily otherwise the seedlings will start to lean. Grown indoors like this they will probably be weedy (!! ) and spindly and keel over so be prepared for multi funerals!

Some still only have tiny seedlings but some are thriving! when they get a bit bigger i will thin them out and re-pot the strongest seedlings. any spindly ones that aren't good enough to survive re-potting can just be mixed in with dinner... so long as they haven't actually died haha! my windowsill gets light all day, and I've been turning them round each day to prevent leaning. Fingers crossed... Louise
