Topic: Super seeds!

[star]

I sowed dwarf kale and lettuce last Tuesday afternoon.......Wed morning they were all germinated and growing like crazy:o. I guess they wanted to get on with it! ;D ;D ;D

That was quick  :o
My fastest were burpless cucumbers in the propagator, 3 days from sowing to showing  ;D

Mine were cukes too. I sowed all I had of 2004 Carmen seeds, lots of them that somehow got overlooked. My thinking was that I might get 1 or 2 and bring them on early, but now I am surrounded by them and they popped up very quickly..

I have no idea what I am going to do with them..too early to share out with lotties folks, too cold in the greenhouse and not enough romm iunder lights at home..

Such is the joy of sowing..

That must be a record!

Defo a record for me, you tend to reckon a few days to a fortnight at least.....to give yerslf chance tomake room for pricking out. Im sure I saw them sticking their tongues out at me today! 8)

Anyway all pricked out now and looking happy.

Blimey Jeannine, you might have to allocate the spare room for that lot  ;D ;D ;D.......as you say though its the lack of light, have you tried daylight bulbs?  Good luck ;)

Star, I have a three tier light fitting each tier has three grow lights in so I can carry them for a while, but once they get into 3 Inch pots I shall be short of space, as you know it is always a shuffling game when starting stuff at home. XX jeannine

That is proper super quick, my Tigerellas and Telegaph Cucs took 5 days and Celeriac 8 days which is pretty quick.   :o

Oh I like your growing box thingy Jeannine, yes you can get loads started in there......till they get bigger as you say. Flippin plants are nowt but trouble  ;D ;D

Corny....they certainly caught me on the hop. They have slowed down now, I put them in the cold greenhouse coz they were norty  ;D ;D
