[shaun]

[wighty]

Shaun - i  thought you were too  busy  parading your underpants or lack of to be here tonite

It does not make any sense to me. That water is going to make warm soil for about 5 minutes, the seeds did not even notice they got planted, etc, etc.

the hot water is to kill the all ready germinated seedlings gobs

:roll:  i'm sure i've heard of people pre-chitting nips by putting them in a bowl of water somewhere warm and then sowing once they've already started to germinate... but i'm not sure so don't try it and then blame me when it goes wrong!

[babe]

ive decided to go for the

"chuck em in and pray" method  

[noshed]

By far the best method

[Ruby Red]

Could they be started off in pots just to give them a chance. By the way I was dead excited today my cabbage seeds (hispi) had germinated. I
was well chuffed.  

[shaun]

i have never tried them in pots but some folks sow them in toilet rolls,
well done with the hispi ruby,now thats the easy bit done  

[SkipRat]

I sown 40 in toilet rolls Shaun as a bit of an experiment this year they are already about an inch or so high, I put them in the cold frame last week so will plant them out early next week when these winds have died down a bit.

If you can hold back from planting a bit more. The soil is still to cold and you could lose all that you sow.

If you go on this link     www.metcheck.com

Thank you for the metcheck link - LOVELY to get a good weather link that doesn't treat the reader like an idiot!

New poster here - doing a joint effort of a vegetable garden with a female friend this year as we figure that between us we have enough time to do this!
