Cleared some shelf space in GH4 and added the dead plants to the compost bin. Filled the empty space with a planter of "windowsill" tomatoes that had outgrown their headroom in GH2.
Emptied a tray of CFBs that hadn't germinated. They seem to have gone squidgy in the modules. Interestingly, I've just read this which could explain the cause:-
"Tender plants such as beans and courgettes hate cold nights. At the other end of the scale, fleshy seeds such as peas and beans when sown in a greenhouse can get too hot and almost cook when the temperature is in the 20’s. The seed just rots off. We use John Innes No 1 for these, it’s a loam based compost and doesn’t get as hot as the peat free."
I'll keep my next seeds in the house until they germinate.
