Germination of Gentians
(posting a second time as the first one doesn't seem to have made it)
I am experimenting with growing alpine gentians from seed this year.
I sowed the seed in a tray in my unheated greenhouse, thinking that this
would probably be cold enough to count as 'chilling' - I do usually get ice
on the inside of the glass at least a few times over the winter.
However, this winter seems to be continuing remarkably mild, and it's just
not getting all that cold in my greenhouse, (or even outside it).
Should I pop the seed tray into the fridge for a few weeks? I just about
have room for it now that the festive season is over ;-)
