So you guys know my story right. Gardening for bit with some goods and bads.
I can grow any of the bigger seeds thing by either direct sowing or wintersowing but have always had problems with smaller seeds like flowers and tomatoes. Not with germinating but some where between germination and going in the ground things like to die.
So I sowed some tomatoes and some peppers on the fridge in my biodome. And the tomatoes came up a good week + before the first peppers came. But I left the biodome on the fridge which gets very little light. So all my tomatoes got leggy with very long thin thin thin stems. then this weekend I thought I'd put them in my 4 tiered mini greenhouse because only a few peppers had sprouted. Well all the peppers sprouted and now look like they do in the biodome pics. But today it was cold and all my little leggy tomatoes died. While the peppers are Ok.
So I need light.
Light after germination is the deal breaker. That would be why my seedlings are always so delicate and I seem to kill them when I try to transplant them into bigger things. Light. Someone should have told me!

The ones I have this year are doing well.
I learned that one the hard way too! It helps to keep different seeds in different trays, that way you can take the lid off and move them once they sprout to the conditions they need.
