Root fly does not attack seed.

After just 10 days, I'd be giving them a bit more time. Keep them moist.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

As DD said --- a bit soon for them to have out their heads up

But don't forget to cover them with enviromesh or similar as soon as they do  ;)
