no, not at all, i planted mine 3 days ago. they do take a long time to germinate so sometimes it is hard to tell the seedlings apart from the weeds. good luck

Go for it - the old boy on the next plot only gets worried if he hasn't sown by the end of June ???

I filled in the gaps in my row just last Friday, and sowed a second full row. I expect them to start showing themselves by the end of next week. They won't be the worlds biggest roots, but they will be big enough. ;D

I am going to sow my seeds next week - it is about the same time that I did them last year. busy_lizzie
