Re: help with seeds?


Actually, 5-7 days is about normal for radishes, and remember we had 4 days of false Spring here in Washington...made 86 degrees yesterday!!! Today chilly, sunny & howling winds: 15-20 mph with gusts to 35!! And may snow on Friday...but radishes are tough & don't mind cold weather ( I DO!!); the furnace has cut on again today & Leia & Patches are toasting themselves on the radiator covers!! Hope everyones seeds are sprouting well...I will start mine on St. Patrick's Day...indoor ones, that is

Re: help with seeds?


Forgot to ask ~ now my seeds have "appeared" do I leave the lid on the seed tray or do they need some fresh air now?

Donna once they have germinated if they are in a warmish place you should be safe to take the lid off them, once they are about and inch or so tall

Thanks Emma,

Although worry the cats might think it is an extra litter tray!

Well done at growing the seeds! Seeds never even sprout when I try to grow them even though I follow the instructions to the letter! I just stick to bulbs now! Bulbs never let me down!

I had a lovely amaryllis recently which was beautiful despite me forgetting to water it for about 5 weeks!!!

CJ, I hope the kids will eat the cat grass...I bought a small flat of it a few years back & my 2 turned up their noses at it...so I gave it to Carolyn and her Kate refused to eat it also Thre catnip should do fine; put some outdoors when it warms up & it will re-seed itself...I haven't bought any in years.

Re: help with seeds?


oooh i ddint realise it re-seeded itself!!! i had never seen a catnip plant until somebody on here posted a piccy of thier cat near it.

saw some gorgeous patio roses near me yesterday 1.75 each, gorgeous little pinks or yellows, so going to get some, i love roses and always wanted some.

when weather warms up going to sew the snow cloth outside, not sure about marigold seeds, nigella seeds and cornflower seeds, as we;re wanting to move house this year, so i may hang off until we know if we are or not.
