Well, I have waited and waited but my pumpkins are refusing to germinate  :sad10:

So, I'll have to keep an eye on this thread and see what I am missing :happy8:

Has anyone got any pics of any of the plants yet? I'm looking forward to seeing your progress  :toothy10:

caroline i always start my kins of by chitting the seeds in a moist paper towel in a ziplok bag  after filing the seed edge  and soaking for an hour or so i set my temp at about 85f they usually sprout in around 48 hours i then carefully transplant into my starting mix i have not started yet as the temps are still a little low  soil wise i go for 10c  or 50f give it a week or so and i shall be starting mine off

I went for a much more basic approach and popped the seed in a pot of compost in a heated propagator.

Ah well. You live and learn :icon_farao:

Just looking through my giant veg seed. I gather pumpkins and marrows are still worth sowing; what about cabbages?

Mine are just coming up. Given that we've had frosts in two consecutive Junes, I wouldn't dare plant them out yet.
