I think I was a bit too early starting these...

My indoor farm is rapidly outgrowing the windowsill and available pots. I am going to try putting these poor leggy French beans into some containers outside and put them in the plastic greenhouse. It's still too cold at night for them I'm sure. Likewise the courgettes and all the other leggy seedlings. I suppose I should start another round and put them outside from the start and see how well they do.

    Any of those ( like the tall ones on the left) could go in large pots and bury the stem up to the leaves, then into the plastic greenhouse on shelves or at least off the ground. They will be ok as long as the door is closed at night  and even better if on a south facing wall so the radiating heat keeps them warm. Just remember to tie the greenhouse down in case of strong winds ( have had a greenhouse full of plants knocked over in the past)

    P.S. don't try to re pot anything without a true leaf, not the first seed leaf, as they wouldn't survive.

    I stick stuff out in the day when it starts getting big
