Germination Times
Does anyone know where I can find out general germination times for
vegetable seeds so that I know whether or not I should re-sow? My carrots are taking a long time to come through and I'm wondering if they've failed and I need to re-sow. Thanks. |

It's in all Dr Hessayon's books.

That's why many people sow radishes and carrots together. The radishes come up first to show where the row is, then the radishes are pulled conveniently when the carrots are showing. Steve |

They may be if you buy seed but that isn't the case if you sow your own seed. We always had problems with carrot germination until we started to keep our own seed (originally Long Red Surrey/Chertsey from http://www.thomasetty.co.uk/ ) and now they germinate within a week or so. I wonder if it's the way bought seed is treated, naturally it's furry but the bought stuff is smooth so must have had the wiskers that make it stick to clothing sanded off. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

They say you learn something every day and I have today. I've only ever seen carrot seeds in the packet as bought. Trouble is I've now got this mental image of rows of people sanding down the seeds with a sheet of sandpaper before they go in the packets :-)) Steve |
