I recently planted some Cosmos seeds. They have sprouted all tall and leggy ( looking a lot like cress) , does anyone have any idea where I went wrong? Its my first time to grow these.
Would I have have had better luck waiting and planting them directly into the garden rather than trays?

if you have spare seed you could sow some more at the end of the month.

I grew Cosmos for the first time last year - I just threw them round the garden, and they came up really well. I'll be doing the same a bit later on this year.

they need brighter light to stop them getting leggy. I think you perhaps sowed them too soon. having said that I have mine about 2" tall too.
