  • Newbie here!

    Hello all This is my first year as a greenhouse owner so this is a big learning curve for me. I'm hoping to learn lots from here and will hopefully post my successes and no doubt my disasters Sadly I think the latter will be my first. In my haste I started off some Cosmos and Coriander seeds in the bedroom upstairs in February, they came up quite quickly and unfortunately were quite leggy. I have since purchased some staging and put them in the greenhouse (which is heated with a small paraffin heater) the other day after I had watered them well. Looks as though some of them have collapsed, not sure if it's because they were too leggy or have overwatered them. Oh well they do say success is 90% failure, looks like I'm on the right track then

    Maybe you should start again - it's often better to water from the bottom with small seedlings (having said that I don't always! )
    Feb is a bit early I reckon. They may have got a check from going into the cold. I know it's heated a bit but a small parafin heater won't entirely warm the place up.

    Welcome to the grapevine - that encouraging place where, whatever you do wrong - someone here has always done it before you (sometimes more than once!)
    Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

      Welcome to the 'Vine gemlady Don't fret, there's plenty of time to start some more off & the days are getting longer, the sun higher, so seedlings will be a bit happier
