Title: Melon germination....coincidence?
Post by: Deb P on April 28, 2010, 11:41:03
My problems with getting melons to grow well are well documented (sigh), but I don't usually have problems at the first hurdle getting the seeds to germinate!

This year I've had some in my heated (non thermostatically controlled) propagator for three weeks with nothing showing...everything else had germinated OK so I checked last week and no seeds had rotted so I just left them in.

Yesterday I transferred them to my new shiny birthday present propagator with a digital thermostat, and this morning three seedlings are showing! Coincidence? ??? ::)
