Hi Everyone,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question but here goes.

For the past 3 years I have started my tomato, herbs and other veggies in coldframes and had great success. This year my wonderful husband built me an 8x12 greenhouse and I have gotten stuff to germinate, veggies, flowers even peppers and eggplant. I started them in "peat pots" that I bought at Lowes. Problem is after germinating and getting one set of leaves, they wont do anything? They are all staying small and that is it. I am keeping them really wet, good heat, circulating air, used seed starting soil that I used in my cold frames.

I am so confused and frustrated. The flowers are doing the same thing? I checked the roots and all have a good root system. I even transplanted into a bit bigger peat pots thinking they needed more space, but nothing. The only thing that grew bigger was my cukes but they turned yellow so I put them in the garden hoping to keep them going. If we don't get a frost they should make it, they were and early variety.

PLEASE! Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? My tomatos got huge in my cold frame, I am not understanding why they are not doing as well?

Thanks,
Susan in NC
