    Need a second opinion please.

    Photos attached are photos of my Nasturtiums grown on my sunny windowsill.

    Tom thumb variety

    Are these leggy? I cannot tell on the basis I am growing for the 1st time and I know they generally look messy and unruly.

    I’ve got loads of seeds so if they are I’ll compost and stick in some more and after germination stick them into my unheated greenhouse

    I think you have sown too early, they grow very fast and often you just sow where they are going to flower, I reckon you could wait another month before sowing them.
