I must have asked a million people why I followed all the directions on
water, lighting, growing medium, etc., and still had leggy seedlings.
Steve is the first to give me the answer!  Now if I have it right, I
germinate the plants at the temperature stated on the packet, then put the
sprouts in a cooler environ- ment...55F, decreasing to as low as 39F would
be a good range?  Thanks alot!

PS:  Have any of you used liquid kelp as a foliar spray to get tender
plants through an overnight frost?  I used it one year on tomatoes (20F
overnight low); I sprayed the plants when I planted them out, and then a
couple weeks later when I heard the frost warning.  No damage to any of the
plants.
