DW and I were not on the same page with the seeds we started last Sunday so they never got checked until this Saturday. Most of the tomatoes were sprouted and tall and spindly. I put them under the lights and got the fan going. Hopefully they will get stronger and get back to normal.

More information, please about concrete blankets.

@ducks4you, I am not sure the concrete blankets will work they are black on one side to absorb the heat and white on the other to let it out. So not sure it would work
for the greenhouse. So far we just have annual flowers in it and they are doing fine with no heat at all.

I think you are right. What kills most of my early outside starts is the wind drying them out, so ANY wind block helps.

I use a grease pencil on the eggs too, to date them etc.

spindly on tomatoes isn't an issue as long as they don't actually break.

when you plant them out, just put them down deeper. they root out
from the stem and survive droughts a bit easier.
