Re: Transplanting seedlings

Carleen and other listmembers:

I'm new here and have been watching for something I
could respond to.  When I start seedlings indoors, I
usually have trouble getting enough light, and they
grow long, weak stems; is this what happened to you?
I usually throw these away figuring they'll never grow
into normal plants.  On the other hand, when I set them
outside for more sunlight, I forget them and they dry up.

Some people use grow-lights, but this can get expen-
sive.  My usual solution is to just wait and plant in the
garden.  There are of course problems with that too. I
sometimes resort to buying healthy transplants at a
garden center.

: My first attempt at starting my own veggie seedlings.  The tomatoes,
: peppers, chinese cabbage and cauliflower are in one inch ''cells''
: and 16 days old.  The tomatoes and cabbage are 3-4 inches of long
: stems and just starting to show their second leaves. Peppers are the
: same, but only 2 inches tall.  When should I transplant ?  The
: cauliflower grew tall and is laying down a bit.. should I starts some
: others just in case ?
