Seedling growth

A while ago, I planted some pumpkin and courgette seeds. At first they didn't germinate very well, but when I put them in my workhouse (a non-insulated place that gets over 30°C when the sun is shining), they shot up like rockets.
The movie below is a time-lapse recording of the progress over a 24 hour period (2008-05-08 1700 to 1700 today). Note the explosive growth when the seedlings are in full sun (and the picture is over-illuminated).
