| Hello, i havent been on here in FOREVER! but, i've continued to winter sow for the last 8 yrs or so. My dilemma is that i've potted everything out of my milk jugs into 6 pks, cuz we are still having freeZing nights. I have everything in my big greenhouse. but my little seedlings are just sitting there doing nothing. they have been 1/2 inch for 4-6 weeks. so ive been miracle growing them. still nothing. so i tried fish fertilizer once the other day and it greened them up but the only things that started to grow were my petunias. then the cleome got wider but not taller. just sitting there. I pulled up a stock and the roots havent even grown out yet. after a month! I just dont get it!! any answers or ideas would be appreciaTED. |

| I am in the same boat as you. So many of my seedlings are still too small to transplant and my covers are still on. We are expecting warm temperatures this weekend, so perhaps things will get going. Still waiting for my zinnias, four o'clocks, and datura to sprout. We just have to wait on Mother Nature and hope it's a long summer. |

| Remember that the roots are still growing. As soon as the weather is warm enough, those plants will explode and grow like weeds. Martha |

| I'm with DocMom on this. It's cold, the tops don't grow fast in cold weather but the roots do. Remember that a plant isn't just what you see above the soil--those magnificent roots that are produced via WS wahich are so vital to plant health. |

| I'm also waiting for growth (above ground). It was 90 degrees today and i'm worried it'll be too hot to plant out. All my seedlings are still in jugs and still only about an inch tall or shorter. |
