Thyme & Basil
« on: March 16, 2011, 07:52 »
We've had some seeds germinating in a tray since 6th March.  They're in the tray in a carrier bag on top of our boiler and nice and warm.  They've grown in small healthy looking clumps to about an an inch and a half in height and are now possibly being stifled by the size of the bag.

Is it time to re plant?  They don't really have any leaves on them yet, they're just shoots at the mo.  Any thoughts?

1 1/2" and no true leaves yet? Sounds like they've gone leggy through lack of light & being too warm. Are they enclosed in that bag? - they shouldn't be.

Mine were germinated indoors, probably a little earlier than yours and as soon as they were through got popped into the frost free greenhouse.

Try potting them up, burying the seedlings up to their leaves and get them acclimatised to somewhere cooler, but be prepared to re-sow. Don't kill them with kindness.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
