It must be March in New England. We had a high temp yesterday of 79⁰F/26⁰C and today we're at 38⁰F/4⁰C. Par for the course. I noticed that the green bell pepper & tomato seedlings were starting to show some purple mottling on their leaves, which might be a phosphorus deficiency or maybe they're a little chilly, but I gave them a shot of liquid fertilizer this morning, just in case. It won't be too long before they get potted on (weather permitting).

A person's left hand holds a 500ml squeeze bottle filled with a slightly bluish liquid which is plant fertilizer. On the table behind is a tray containing silicone seed starting cells containing green bell pepper and tomato seedlings.  Most of the seedlings are about 2 inches/5cm across.  In background are other seed starting trays under fluorescent lights.
