Starting seedling can be a straightforward process, but as we keep them indoors under constant observation, we may start to notice issues like yellowing leaves, legginess, damping off, etc. It happened to me, too. I started some of my seedlings early, but the weather didn’t allow them to go in the ground yet. After nearly a month, some of the bottom seedling leaves were turning yellow, and I soon learned why.
We start peppers early because these heat-loving plants take a long time to mature, and in a temperate climate we want to get a head start. Since peppers are tender to frosts and require a lot of heat, we have the option to either start them indoors, in trays or buy large seedlings in late spring, when it’s time to transplant them in the ground.
Beetroot seedlings aren’t always easy to start in module trays – either indoors or in a greenhouse. They’re a bit fussy, and you could run into all sorts of problems tending to these delicate little plants. One annoying issue that occurs right after germination is getting leggy beetroot seedlings.
Starting seeds is not as easy as putting seeds in the ground. Seeds are like small miracles – they contain within them the power to transform and grow into a beautiful plant if we give them the right conditions. Most gardeners will kill a lot of seedlings when first starting out – it’s a process of trial and error. But they soon come to learn there are a number of things to get right.
