kale/purple sprouting germination problem
I've planted various veg seeds in cheapo multi purpose compost, some in a
frost free porch, some in seed trays out side in a sheltered spot. The kale and purple sprouting have neither really germinated yet (just one or two plants in each row). The rest (cabbages, lettuce, various roots and things) all seem fine. I started planting several weeks ago. Any ideas as to the problem? TIA, -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |

Just one thought.... you haven't got a rogue slug or two? |

Just one thought.... you haven't got a rogue slug or
two? no - have checked and the seeds are all very high up on wire stands. -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |
