Mine tend to get a little yellowy by the time I plant them, which is down to me forgetting to feed them  ::)  But I'll start hardening them off either today or tomorrow and they can go in in a fortnights time.

I know this is a silly question, but which end should be pointing upwards when you come to potting the chitted seeds? Is there just one shoot coming out of the seed or will there be two? (A root and a shoot)? I've followed your chitting instructions so far, so fingers crossed. By the way, mine are an F1 hybrid called Incredible. Mean anything to anyone?

It's the root that comes out first.

When you plant them I'm sure it knows to go downwards! :lol:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
