indoor or outdoor ? Got some seeds from a friend with no instructions. Coming up in the propagator like wildfire.

Don't leave them in the propagator, otherwise you'll get leggy plants they'll still need to be somewhere reasonably warm though.

here they were at 11am this morning

and at 8.30pm this evening

It's like Day of the Triffids ! I'm currently making some of Richies Paper Pots for transplanting them - should I be looking at repotting them straight away ? they were sown last weekend, went into the new heated propagator yesterday.

WATCH IT - they're getting drawn.

Those who are fed up of hearing about aluminium foil - look away now.

Get them into a light space. If it's a window as opposed to greenhouse, get some foil behind them like this.....

This will give them more light & importantly all round illumination.

Some of my cucumbers, photo taken a few minutes ago. Only propagator was an upturned clear plastic supermarket meat tray.

Note the 'f' word behind the seedlings!
