We're all dying, Vinny, just a question of when.  hope the tests are OK

Yesterday, apart from shopping, potted on some Old German, Burlesque, Malachite Box and Indigo Blue Beauty. Sowed Divinity, Minibel, Girl Girl's Wierd Thing, Honeycomb, Fireworks and Bloody Butcher. Just two of each one to keep and one sacrificial. You can bet your socks that I'll be potting up each and every seedling, sacrificial or not
Today we're off to buy some wood to mend the back gate.

I was thinking how to stop the tomato seedlings from getting more drawn when i remembered I had some cheap propagation lights. So I got those out and programmed them for 4 hours at night.

How does that work, Mark?
Don’t you really want to boost the light during the day?
I just don’t get it.
Sorry

Well the sun is out during the day but the length of day is short still. Also they are in a West facing conservatory. So I reckoned an extra 4 hours of light wouldn't go amiss.
They were only cheap, from ebay I think, but you can press a button to set a timed 4/6 or 8 hours. This is then repeated every 24hours by the lights.

My 'octopus' LED lights are on all day 8.30 - 11pm as they're in a dark corner, think of the windowsill wars I'd have if we had a conservatory
