All of my seed packets (broccoli, kale, collards, brussels sprouts) said 10 or so days to emergence, so I thought I could get away with planting them (in pro mix in cow pots) and leaving them in a shed window while I am on vacation. Well lo and behold the things popped up in a few days, and now they are getting leggy! (I plan on getting lights--but later obviously--no time now.)

I was thinking I could put them outside (in zone 7 August heat, mind you), and have a neighbor water them when he waters my garden (I have a good neighbor). Do you think that is the best solution?
