Phototropism via Time Lapse Video
Have you ever put out your seedlings only to find them all leaning the opposite way next time you look? It's no conspiracy and your mental faculties need not be questioned. It's phototropism: the act of plants bending towards the light.
Here's a time lapse video of what you're seedlings are doing behind your back.
Who's responsible for this...?

It's kind of like a little flower dance, isn't it? Neat how plants can move like that.

I love that! Have you done any other gardening time lapse. I have been considering mounting an old camera to my kids wooden swing set (that they don't even use anymore)to get time lapse footage of the entire vegetable garden growing. It would be a long process but seeing your time lapse is making me want to do it again!
