Topic: We have germination!

[spacehopper]

The tomato seeds I planted at the end of january have nearly all germinated! Woo hoo!  :D Doesn't take much to keep me happy, does it?! Lol.

Hi there, I have registered with this site because I wanted to share your excitement! I have numerous pots of seeds on my windowsill and returned from work today to see that the onion, carrots and leek seeds have germinated - very excited!!!!

[Jesse]

another woohooo here! First of my chillies have germinated after 5 days, the others should be through in the next couple of days if all goes well. :)

CONGRATULATIONS! ;D


I havn't planted a single thing!

[moonbells]

Congrats! It's always fun to see the first seedlings appear.

I have little croquet hoop leeks!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Only sown last Saturday in the conservatory - which is currently 13^oC so I guess they like it! 3 days!!!

After last season, and old seed, when I got two up out of 40 in 3 weeks...  much happier.

last night i noticed 2 out of 9 sweet peas, a couple of lettuce mixed leaves and one "unknown" poking their wee heads through.

the unknown will be a complete surprise when it matures.  i just found the inner foil packet lying open at the bottom of the box and hadn't got a clue what it was.

it is a very exciting time.  roll on tomorrow when i can spend all day out in the garden, rain or shine.

 ;D

[Dan 2]

A Help question!!  :-\

Having got the toms to germinate indoors n polybags, when can the polybag be a) opened and b) removed ?

And then must they go to a windowcill?   ??? :-\

[grawrc]

I would have thought you should open it now before condensation starts to cause damping off and rots the seedlings.

I usually do seed trays on  my garden table in the utility room and they do fine.

Whereabouts are your poly bags?

[Jitterbug]

Ahem!

Take a look at my babies .. These are various kinds of tomatoes and I have also germinated cucumber as well.  Planted mid January. They are busying hardening off in my front porch with no heating.  Fingers crossed..

[joji]

I got lettuce showing, 2 different types of tomatoes. The strawberrys are still yet to show. :)

I still got other seeds but don't know wether or not to sow them yet.

[flowerlady]

Whereabouts are your poly bags?

grawrc - I have no heated propagator so I sat them on top of the fish tank!!  They are still tiny but will need more daylight!!

my porch is cold, but light, will it be OK for them do you think?  :-\

[Jesse]

I'd put them somewhere that they get maximum light and try to avoid temps much below 10C (50F). If you find they're getting a bit leggy, plant them deeper each time you pot up.
