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,
