Hi,
can anyone let me know avg germ time for:-
Parsnips
Beetroot
Carrots

Mine went in as suggested on packet at beginning of the month/ end of last, but no life yet , but turnips,radish  all doing well.
I though carrots germinated quickly?

I also have a homemade scarecrow that the kids helped me build,, problem is the pidgeons sit on it to see what to attack next.

does anyone know what ailment my rhubarb has,  i have it in many areas , but one area has shrivelled, holed leaves, and brown woody stem at base. pull off bad bits but new growth just does it again.

thanks

thanks fl, if conditions are not great, weather has been great, so i suspect the soil( its was a new plot for me last Nov),  will they come up later or have they had it and need to try again elsewhere. :?

I believe that so long as the soil is above 6-7 degs you should be onto a winner    
Maybe use a layer of fleece if you are unsure of the weather and that in turn will help to warm the soil up a bit more
