Isabelle, they don't need light until IMMEDIATELY after they sprout so watch
them -- they like to be about 75 degrees until they sprout (heat from below
is good) -- after they sprout they are happiest at about 55 degrees so don't
worry about heating them then
The more you transplant them, the hardier they will become. Fondle them
daily (run your hand over every seedling) -- water them with cold water --
every shock toughens them.
Things WANT to grow -- do not be afraid.
Les, with 88 trays of 32 seeds each started so far -- all but 35 trays are
up! Ah the smell of tomato plants -- I've missed it!

know whether they need light right away or only after the seed has
sprouted. The envelope the seeds came in doesn't say.
