Leek germination
« on: February 23, 2013, 20:44 »
I don't know if anyone can shed any light on this. I have sown robin sons mammoth leek seed 4 weeks ago I sewed 3 packets along with my uncles 2 packets so 5 in total or 500 seed! So far we have 35 germinated. We think the seed is at fault. We have been growing these for years in the same method without problems? I sewed the same companies onion on Boxing Day and have a forest of onions ready for pricking out. Can anyone suggest anything we have not thought of or does  anyone else grow this variety? If so how have they done?

As this is my first post hello to you all.

Sure it can't be the compost?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I am using durtstons compost which i know is good because i sowed my onion seed in the same compost in the the same heated greenhouse on boxing day and they have germinated so well that i have hundreds of plants left that i am trying to find homes for!!

I think it can only be the seed. I have sown some musselburgh leek seed today in the same way so i hope that they will do better.
