Can I just use sunlight?

I might be answering my own question through action...but here goes.

I recently started seeds outside in clear tubs. For the most part, we have been having warm sunny weather. I've gotten really good germination, but now the seeds aren't doing anything. It has been two weeks since they've germinated and they still haven't put on another set of leaves. What am I doing wrong?

A lot of people plant their gardens by now in my area, although I always wait until April 1.

The night time temperatures do get a bit cold, could this be the problem? Do I need to buy lights and bring my seedlings inside? What do all of you use for inexpensive lighting systems?

I should mention the seedlings are tomatoes, echinacea, rudbeckia, shasta daisies, and basil.

Thanks... :)
