    Will mine survive in a plastic greenhouse at two weeks old? 

    Most definitely....they need tough love, otherwise they will be just weak & straggly. image

    Thanks David, I'll get some fresh compost and plant them out, as soon as I can bend my back againimage  The are going into the usual large half barrels.

    hi all, David,I put my 1st spring batch of sp's out in 'cold frame' they look ok, sowed some more last week, wondering now if i should put them out in there too to get stronger less leggy growth, would they germinate ok? usually i start them off indoors but would be interested to see if i could free up some indoor space for toms& cucmbers

    Hi, Rosemummy.....yes, your newly sown seed will be fine in your cold-frame. They will take a little longer to germinate, but will be stronger plants.

    David ,right, basic question. To soak overnight , or not worth the effort?
