Hi, I'm growing three kinds of tomatoes... sweet pea, super sweet and basket.

The sweet pea seedlings are the smallest of the three at about two inches high. Their first/baby leaves have fallen off and it's starting to look like leaves further up the stem are weakening where they meet the main stem and are about to fall off.

On the basket seedlings, which are about four inches high, some of the top leaves are starting to curl in on themselves.

They're sitting on the kitchen windowledge in moist, not wet, compost and have tin foil behind them to maximise the light.

Any ideas?

Move them upstairs if possible, kitchens can get cold overnight.
Do you have the pots in a tray and water from the base ?

Thanks 8doubles. Have moved them into the living room (don't have the heating on upstairs). Now sitting on a south facing windowsill with a radiator underneath them... in a tray which has been watered - fingers crossed!

I've actually got a heated propogator in the greenhouse (lid off). It just has some trailing busy lizzies and some chilli seedlings in at the moment - can I put my tomato seedlings in there... set at about 19 degrees. This means they'll be kept at a constant temperature and have loads of light. Thoughts?

Put them out in the greenhouse during the day (as long as it's not a freezing cold day)  and bring them indoors before it gets dark. They won't need the propagator, ordinary g/house temp is fine.
I've been doing this for a few weeks now and everything is growing like mad

Thought I'd upload some pics as they're worth a thousand words!!!

You can see on one of the pics how some of the leaves are drooping, and another one where the seed leaves are discolouring and dropping off... sad days

They are a bit leggy - pot them on individually  into some multipurpose, up to their bottom leaves and start the in and out routine, so they get maximum light during the day.
The seed leaves always drop off sooner rather than later so don't worry about them  


Don't keep them directly above a radiator it's not good for them

Thanks Mum... I'll do that  Fingers crossed...
