Winter Density lettuce seeds not germinating at all
I got some Johnson's Winter Density lettuce seeds - and no matter what I
do they won't germinate. I've never ever had any other lettuce seeds that were problematic in any way at all - and I'm really puzzled. I've tried them in the garden - and in seed trays with the best John Innes seed compost. What on earth might be wrong? -- Chris |

What on earth might be wrong?
Could be that the seeds are NG...H Could be wrong temperature. That's very strange indeed. Have you tried to soak them before hand? Do you still have the packet to check the date of the seeds? Date is OK. Haven't tried soaking - and would welcome more detail on that. Could be a temperature problem in that these seeds are designed for the colder months. -- Chris |

Try putting a few of the seeds onto a wet kitchen roll and cover with a
polythene bag and keep in the kitchen and they should germinate in a couple of days. .......................Leslie "Chris" ] wrote in message ]... What on earth might be wrong?

Do you still have the packet to check the date of the seeds? Your way of keeping in only the last attribution confuses me. I wrote the third line of the above. I did not write either the first or the second lines. Could you please consider keeping in the attributions for the previous responses? Either that, or reply to the post that your reply is relevant to, rather than replying to one several replies down the line. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Just done that - five minutes ago. They're on the kitchen windowsill now. We'll see what happens! -- Chris |

I've just had the same problem from Puce in the "Are slugs and snails eating phormium?" thread. Probably trolling, going by her irrational responses there. Janet |

Why are you so rude with me? My suggestion to soak the seeds has been picked up by someone else and indeed it is a suggestion, whereas you haven't contributed anything but just spat at me again. Who do you think you are?! And it's La Puce to you. I suggest you stop this immediately. I am not a troll. I am currently doing my second year RHS module 2 - I am passionate with what I do, always was and always will. It is a great forum for lurkin and learning, sharing and chatting. But you are strongly advised to stop being such a prat Janet. I am trying to understand what is happening with my posts. I was on Turnpike, now I am on outlook and thought of using google beta in forums. I have had no problem with any other groups. I apologise for the confusion. |

Probably trolling, going by her irrational responses there. Why are you so rude with me? Because of the rude way you behave. I am not a troll. I am currently doing my second year RHS module 2 - I am passionate with what I do, always was and always will. Nobody gives a stuff. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will be judged on the evidence presented here. So far, it's not impressive. It is a great forum for lurkin and learning, sharing and chatting. But you are strongly advised to stop being such a prat Janet. Unfortunately, your opinions and advice don't have much standing, as you have already shown them to be based on your own ignorant misconceptions, sloppy reading. and persistent misreporting . I am trying to understand what is happening with my posts. I was on Turnpike, now I am on outlook and thought of using google beta in forums. I have had no problem with any other groups. I apologise for the confusion. What a pity you didn't say that when it was first pointed out, perfectly politely, by myself. Instead you responded with a tirade of denials and unfounded lies about other posts of mine, which you have still refused to withdraw. Janet. |

So far, it's not impressive. All this started because of the phormium thread. I explain I was thinking of the use of my copper rings and I was communicating with Lynda. What's wrong with you. Are you some kinda bully?! As for impressing you, that's the last thing on my mind! How can I give evidence of your rude posts in return when they have been removed after 3 days? The link is no longer available, see below, but we can read the gist of it. You can see how rude you were to me regarding the compost myth thread. You thought I had written 'I make fairly rubbish compost at the moment' when in fact it was gentlegreen and you reported me as 'another post, same author' and added 'looks like you might be one of them'. Later on you carried on with the possibility I was a troll regarding my advice about soaking seeds which somebody elses came up with and to which you didn't commented on. Give it a rest. Don't you have a cauldron to attend to? "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... and from another post, same author I actually make fairly rubbish compost at the moment Looks like you might be one of them Janet. |
