Hi guys, I have these fab seeds do I have to do anything special with them or do I just pop them into compost and keep them warm until the weather changes? Yesterday snow (lots of it) Today rain!! Again lots of it. Thanks Jan

You could have PM'd me!

Pop them in, I use single cell seed tray inserts, about 1/4" deep, keep them warm until germinated & a couple of inches high, they can be then hardened off.

Those I sent to digital biscuit have germinated, so the seed's good!

How long before seeds become a crop DD :?:

DD. · « **Reply #3 on:** April 07, 2008, 17:13 »

Only 3 years!!!

As DD said, 3 of the 6 i sowed a month ago are now 10cm tall and looking lovely!!

Will be sowing the rest when greenhouse is up and running (D*mn winds!)

I have just put 24 in compost, I am still not sure about this stuff I got from £stretcher cos they didn't have any perlite or vermiculite though. It just looks and feels like cut up bits of sponge!! Have covered the mini greenhouse and put the heating up in the kitchen, now all I have to do is wait.
