Sufficient light is important
In February, the days are still very short, and the natural light isn't yet sufficient for growing tomatoes, chilies, peppers, lettuce, herbs, or even mushrooms. If plants are kept in too little light, the vegetables not only grow poorly, they also become leggy. This means that the seedlings put their energy into growing taller and reaching for the light. The result is soft, flexible stems and poor foliage and root growth.
How to turn your windowsill into an indoor mini garden
Thanks to plant lights that promote plant growth, you can start pre-cultivation now on your windowsill or in a low-temperature greenhouse, or you can grow aromatic herbs and fresh vegetables year-round. Don't sow them too densely, otherwise the little plants will later get in each other's way and grow poorly. Feel free to leave the plants under the lights for a while: Because they hang horizontally above the plants and a reflector directs the light downwards, they grow beautifully upright rather than at an angle to the window.
