Not one seed has sprouted!

How long ago?
Well the first batch that went into the nursery beds was planted on
26th June ( i've got some sprouts in this batch ). The batch that went
into the tray was planted on 30th June (0 sprouts).

Thompson and Morgan do a germination guide which I think is free - it
would be worth getting hold of a copy.
They have a online copy as well, which i promptly dl'd. Thanks K!

1. Why have such a small percentage of seeds sprouted?
2. What sort of magic-potion can i add to strengthen plant stems?

Light ;-)
Damn! I thought there would have been something cool - I'm beginning
to feel a little like Getafix *lol*. Actually i was hoping for some
tricks, as in: well, some seeds secrete enzymes when water gets in.
Maybe there is a way to sprout those seeds and then mash them and feed
them to my flower seeds.. I'll try that with green-gram and a few
Salvia.

5. Is there a fail safe recipe for sprouting seeds in controlled
conditions? That way i can figure out what i'm doing wrong!

Are any of your weeds sprouting well.?
I've been sowing seeds for over 40 years and I still have complete
failures, so don't be downhearted.
No weeds ! Err..for now.
