Very strange, the 1st seedling I had removed from all the other pots, a

(in fact a miniature of the leaf) anyone else's like this? Reading all
the
others posts, I thought the first one was the norm, but I'm not so sure
now,
very strange indeed......



I'm sorry to say I've only just sown mine - wanted to wait until after the
very cold weather we had recently as my green house isn't heated. I'll
let
you know if they pop up their heads - do they take long to germinate?

Mine didn't take too long to start germinating, but I sowed mine indoors in
the warmth. Some are still germinating, so they're a bit erratic. The RHS
Propagation guide says that seed sown at 16deg C should germinate within 3
weeks. I believe mine came through sooner than that, so keep a regular
check on them.
