Cauliflower seedlings

It looks as though my second attempt at cauliflowers is going belly-up.

Seeds were planted in peat pots and left on a windowsill which gets sun in the afternoon, and never left to get completely.

Just like my first batch the seedlings have reached their third-leaf stage and are about 4cm tall, but the edges of the leaves are beginning to curl and die.  My broccoli, squash and bean seedlings are thriving so far on the same treatment.

What am I doing wrong? Will I ever eat curry made from home-grown cauli?

mine are doing the same, what is the problem?

our brocoli and brusselds are fine

Thanks for that.  I'll let them go outside to play and see if a few can be revived.

Absolutely.  As an experiment the other way, take a piece of your worst weed into the greenhouse and watch it go sickly in less than a week.  

So if I put a greenhouse over the entire veg patch I wouldn't get any weeds???

Actually, you are partially right, I never get as many weeds in the greenhouse or polytunnel as I do outside.

my first batch of cauli and brussels went belly up too.  so now its a bit warmer here, as soon as the new batch showed their heads i took the top off the propgator and put them outside in the cold frame. they have lasted longer than the others did so far. it could have been the proximity to the radiators in the house they didnt like.

im just playing it by ear so dont take my "method" as gospel
