More leggyness

What with the smoggy pollution misery in the first week of April, sun was somewhat limited and I definitely saw the side effects :-

My Cosmos has grown thin and my sunflowers are stretching themselves to the limit too.  I was probably a little premature growing these plants so soon, either way there here now and I'll look after them.  I've supported the sunflowers with small sticks and little butterfly clips used to support orchids.





The cosmos I'll re-pot when the husband out in the office, this is so he won't catch me when I eventually spill potting compost on the kitchen floor (it's only ever a smidgen so don't worry if your reading dear ;)

Onions and Lettuce are big leggy...

A week on from planting my seeds and there is definitely signs of life, unfortunately sun shine has been limited so a few seedlings have been straining themselves to seek out some light.



My lettuce and onion plants have grown very leggy, so I decided to move them on into individual cells.  I have buried them deep in new compost in a bid to help them grow big and strong.



If anyone is wondering about my strange post title, it is a reference to an eighties song 'John Wayne is big leggy' by Haysi Fantayzee.


I don't know that much about them, I was about six or seven when they were on the go.  One thing I do know is that I was probably jumping round my parents living room to 'The Top of the Pops' performance I have posted a link to below. :D
