how much daylight for seeds?
« on: April 12, 2009, 19:24 »
Hello everyone, I hope you have all been enjoying your gardening this weekend. I have finally got all my seeds sown, some in situ, some indoors. I have one question which may sound a bit silly but here goes. I have limited space indoors for my sown seeds and wondered if they will still have a good chance of germinating if they are not on a windowsill but on a table that recieves less, but some light. I'm not sure if they need direct sunlight or if sitting somewhere that is generally light is enough. I guess I can swap them around so that they all have a go in prime position! Many thanks

they will be fine until they germinate, then they need as much light as possible. aluminium foil helps to increase the amount of light they get
