The info on this site is great! I am in a similar situation as the original post-er, looking for suggestions. Its my first time so I just threw a bunch of stuff in a starter kit and waited to see what happened. Some of it I think I wasn't supposed to start inside. See the picture, my sunflowers are laying down they are so light starved. So I'm thinking I'll go for the lighting. Can I use a compact flourescent in a desk lamp pointed down? I have only 2- 36 cell containers.

Also, I was going to transplant the really sad ones to larger pots and bury the stems like it has been suggested, will that work? Here is what I have in there:
Cosmos
Sunflower
Sweet Pea
Zinnia
Lavender
Morning Glory

Hoping someone will take pity on the Newbie and help me save my plants!
