New/ Advice on growing

Are the "two leaves" the seed leaves - not the true leaves?
If so, and they're staying at seed leaf stage for a few months, you're doing something very wrong.
When do you sow them - which month?

hi,do you have them in a propagator ? i would try abit more of a little and often water scheduale ,twice a month really doesnt seem enough to me

um best way to describe it is when they sprout the head opens up and it becomes to leaves, I'm not sure if they are proper leaves. Also I didn't really know there is a growing season, so I just pot the seeds whenever I get them indoors. They all seem to sprout and I usually have a few more sprouting in 1 cup than I should so I try to transplant some they seem to die right away afterwards so I think I do them too soon, but I was wondering if I plant the seeds deeper down will that cause the stem of the plant to be stronger because they seem to be very thin and weak see.

Here's a picture showing seed leaves and true leaves on a tomato and a cucumber



The first 2 leaves to open are usually roundish and quite different to the true leaves which open later.
Even with lights, there's little point in sowing tomato seeds at this time of year. They need warmth, long days and the best of growing conditions.
The seed packets will tell you when to sow them

okay thank you.

anyone know how to add a photo on here as your profile pic, spent the good part of an hour now trying to upload a photo to keep getting "unable to use" I cut the pixels down to below 80 x 80, and nothing

Is it a Jpeg?

[Nubber]

noo, I have to use "paint to make the images smaller" and the pixels down to size, and it saves as PNG

[Bigmallly]

Ok, Open the image in paint again, click on "Save as" then choose Jpeg...............see if that works.

I've just tried changing my Avatar using different images & it doesn't work. All I can assume is that the ongoing upgrade may have something to do with it. I'll ask a Mod to look into it.
