Which seeds to soak
« on: March 24, 2015, 20:38 »
Hi,
I've just gone through my seeds to see what to sow in the greenhouse, either to stay there or prior to planting out. I've got the whole of tomorrow to sow them in trays. Are there any seeds that would benefit from soaking in water overnight tonight to encourage germination? Here's what I've got : red cabbage, mixed lettuce leaves, radish, basil, purple broccoli, land cress, shallot seeds, chives, sage, spinach, coriander, oregano, cauliflower, courgette, brussel sprouts, rocket.

Also got some flower seeds, chrysanthemum, lupin, marigold, sunflower and  stocks,

Thanks

Amanda
My favourite weed is a raspberry ;)

Agreed - non of the above!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
