It is also worth checking out the eden seeds site http://www.edenseeds.com.au There is a planting guide on the site, and you can order heaps of different varieties rarely seen in most shops and nurseries. also try http://humusbeings.blogspot.com.au/2008 ... antle.html |

Thanks again for that. I like the idea of getting some Eden seeds and doing some seedlings, and using the Gardenate list should put me in the right direction. I used jiffy pots around December to plant out Water melon seedlings which is per planting guide, the seeds were ones I had collected from a water melon bought from the shop (last season) and I think I may have also planted out a couple of Eden ones from memory. Once the seeds were established I planted the whole pot in the Grow bed. Do any of you seed propagators do this or is it not a good idea. I know when I pulled a couple of old ones out yesterday they both had worms in them. The seedlings didn't survive past growing about 150mm long (leaves and plant that is, not fruit). I wonder if the jiffy pot was holding to much water and the little seedling roots were weakened by the water logging and couldn't make it out of the pot to reach flood and drain environment of gravel grow bed?

How long approx does beetroot take to grow from seedling to tennisball size? I've had mine in for 3 months and they are barely golfball size |

Those jiffy pots take a long time to dissolve and degrade, I wouldn't use them in a Ap system, I would wash the roots of seedlings and then plant out in GB. Just be aware that some watermelons and things like that are hybrid these days and the seeds will not produce fruiting plants. It's better to purchase seeds from a seed merchant. |

And by the way last time I was in BYAP they had Eden seeds on sale over the counter. Lovely open pollinated heirloom seeds. |
