I sowed two seed per pot on New Year's Day... So far:

1 seed in each pot of Roma germinated (one an inch, the other just peeking)
1 seed in a Beefmaster pot is an inch tall, the pot shows no signs of life
No Ildi have germinated yet

Cheers,

Kosh

Just checked mine, one of the 4 Shirley's is just poking through. Plastic bag off, aluminium foil on!

Kosh - 1" high already sounds a bit too rapid, have you deployed the ali foil?

[gobs]

A good effort.

I didn't bag them even. We shall see.

Tonight's job...

[DD.]

It'll be 2" high by then!

So, so, Maistro!

Had some lettuce germinating, hardly seen in the morning, when I got back in the afternoon it was already bending...

What do you do with the foil, DD?

Put the foil behind the seedlings, so that it reflects light back at them. This increases the amount of light considerably and prevents the seedling being drawn in one direction.

I really should be doing this foil thing, but cannot be asked today, I am way too tired.

Plenty of leggy lettuces on their way...

my babies have germinated

All four Shirley through now.

I had a couple of packs of gardeners delight (one pack a year or two old and one new pack) and planted a few (4/5) of each on the 3rd...  2 of the new ones have germinated today    hopefully the others will also germinate soon.

I also planted some cabbage, cauli and aubergine on the same day and the cabbage started to germinate yesterday - A new year of growing has begun - yey!!   

[gobs]

Lol! No sign of mine.

I moved the stuff upstairs today, I figure it's cold for them in the kitchen. That's how often I sow this early...

[VegGirl7]

I have a lighting rig and was thinking of putting them under there on a timer (maybe from 8am to 6pm) - would that be cheating?? 

[gobs]

I would just quote the late chairman - bless - of our association:

This competition is so serious that any manners of cheating is allowed, more so, it's called for.
