I have some germinated seedlings that need light. Cavalo Nero, Cut and come cabbage, Romanesco broccoli, Pak Choi etc. I have a small east facing window, enough space for two trays on the south facing window (Lupins and Tomatoes there atm). If I fleeced them in an unheated polytunnel, will the brassicas survive? |

They should survive seeing as most brassica are outside in the winter months anyway albeit dormant but out in the frost. Not sure about the pak choi though. _________________ “It’s my field.

Still to early for seeds not enough light or warmth gardening is about patience. |
