Temperature is important.

Although it is well known that temperature is important in plant growth I like to demonstrate it again. The current year experiments I started with seeding indoor in a pot on March 26. On April 11 plants were re-planted outdoor. At the same time I also seeded a row directly in soil. One plant was left indoor until May 11 when it was also re-planted in soil. The plants replanted on April 11 went through snow and frost (see my previous post) and only a few plants survived but looked not very well after all of that. As you can see on picture plants growing from seeds are catching up in the size. The plant grown at room temperature is much bigger that re-planted plant.
