Calabrese seedlings are go.

Last year I managed to sow them just before a grey patch and they all went leggy. 

This year I have hit the jackpot, because I have seedlings in 11 out of 12 modules just broken the surface and joy o joys today is forecast for a full day of sunshine.      Just seen no 12.

Previous year I had problems with damping off.  Not clear why that suddenly happens.  Any advise for prevention would be welcome.

Let the air circulate. Damping off is a fungus, and it thrives in warm damp conditions. If you're worried, you could try dosing the seedlings with fungicide.

It is very difficult to know when to plant seeds when you need a nice day about 5-6 days after sowing.  Sown some more today, hoping I have got it right.  Time will tell.
