I just bung 'em in the old coffee cups and let them get on with it.



They've got two choices.  .  . :ohmy:

Yep, the Greek seeds turned out to be lupins again!

Cheers,    Tony.

Your lupins look really good! 
I've only managed to get 1 to germinate this year. Perhaps because the seed is
about 8 yrs old  :lol: It was seed I'd saved from one of my mums plants at some stage
and came across them again this year.  ::)

Back to sweetcorn, mine are doing really well and I made a
2nd sowing a few days ago. Yours seems to be thriving!

I put my sweetcorn seeds on paper tissues in a Tupperware container and then into the Airing cupboard yesterday and nothing so far how long do they generally take to chit?

They're quick, but not that quick.

Mine last year mine took two days in an airing cupboard.

Don't take your eye off the ball though. Once they get going, there's no stopping them!
