Most of my tomato seedlings have now germinated, and I'm starting the annual process of taking them out to the unheated greenhouse in the morning and bringing them back in the evening. It made me think, is this necessary?
If I didn't take them in and out where should I leave them?
On the one hand, growing them on the windowsill will keep them warm (above 10C) but reduce the amount of light. So they'll grow more spindly.
On the other, if I leave them in the greenhouse, they'll get cold at night and suffer that way.
At the moment its only three trays of seedlings but when they are potted up in a week or so, it'll become many more.
Other than heating the greenhouse or having growlights in the back bedroom, anybody any thoughts as to which is more important?
