strange.....I have been having the  same problem.
I have two with a leaf on and 3 with a sort of leaf half out of the soil.
They have not grown now for around 2-3weeks. ???

These were also sent from America...............

Probably a really dumb question, but are your pots too small,if they are reaaly giant and have almost three leaves the roots must be fairly big already.XX Jeannine

morning Jeannine
  no leaves at all, the seeds have just come through the soil about1/2" and thats it. No leaves, no nufink. Could be its not warm enough for them?
     Thanks

Then I would guarantee it is too cool,they will come on when it warms up. or bring them in the house for a few days. XX Jeannine
