Cabbage germination
« on: March 16, 2010, 14:19:28 »
I'm going to put some more cabbage (Greyhound) seeds in to germinate, only had 1/4 germinate last time, where is best to put them? my cool and no direct sun kitchen window sill or my sunny spare bedroom window sill?
In other words what temperature do they need to germinate? :-\
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

Doesn't need heat, but warm... the sunny window should be fine..  :)

I have recently sown 10 different brassicas, cabbage, sprouts, cauliflower and calabrese in a propagator.

The germination varied from 10% to 100% despite identical conditions and all new seeds.

The worst was Romanesque.

Either should be good to get them to germinate.

Cabbage will germinate with a temp of 10 deg but the persentage of germination is far to low, how do you set your seeds away.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

Grew this last year but did not have a problem with it.   Got lots.  Put them into individual plugs.
