Shannon Rivera :

So should I start over 😭

jovialguy :

maybe I shouldn't have started my fall seeds already. my broccoli is already about 4 inches tall. learned that it's too early for my collards. they look horrible. I'm also in 8b and it will be hot well into September. most things are stunted bc of the heat.

therealjt40 :

Did I miss it what the fix? Mine seedling cosmos flowers are leggy like that

Mariah Dyan Kowal :

Wait, I direct sowed. Is that not what I’m supposed to do? Damn it. First timer here.

tedrinaspinks971 :

Omg thank u so much for this video. I never knew why mine were so leggy

pumpkinpalace05 :

We started a lot of pumpkin, flower and cucumber seedlings outside on the table under a garden umbrella because the kids wanted to start seeds inside (which I knew would get leggy and of course they did) and it was a wonderful experiment!

elle_the_belle37 :

If you start seedlings outside in trays, do you recommend putting the top over them or that would be too much heat for the soil?

BB Grace :

This was very helpful, the comments too

Dave :

My lettuce is very leggy. Thank you for the tips.

bob-e-breakz :

I thought jalapeños needed to be in the dark.

C. :

Mine is leggy but I had just purchased a grow light and set it under for 12 hrs with the ceiling fan out. My cosmos are still leggy though.

Tiktokfanatic :

So since you grow them outside what soil do you use ?

growingwithmatt :

I’ve seen seedlings do this and I never knew why. Thank you so much for sharing!☺️
