Well, more good news.

I looked at the 2nd batch and now there are two more starting to germinate, bringing it up to 5 out of 8.

And the first batch of 6 that were sown in potting mix - one of them popped its cotyledons above the soil this morning, 8-9 days after it was sown. Why is the second batch emerging before the first? I have no idea.

If the germination rate improves we can stick to the original ideas for seeds, if not, we will have to add in the number likely to be non-viable.

But I think I will open the offer later this evening just so everyone can get moving as planting out time is already here for many of us.

Thanks.
