Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

but, isn't it still waning now? new isn't until 25th?

Oh ye of little faith...
The first piece of germination material is the root
well mostly

small problem here, I need to do a new seed order

Mr Fothergill's have some good seeds, if you can't get Eden
or Diggers. I don't do Yates and check to make sure they are
NOT hybrid .
Large seeds are sometimes coated with crap , wash it off before sowing.
I prefer seeds, as seedling were germinated when the factory
has space or time...
Normally, with NO thought of the moon phases.
Lots will bolt because of this.

yeah, the Eden cattledog is here, just need to get to it

If you don't have the seeds you want to plant now,
I'd get the next best...IMHO only and get them in ASAP.

I''l do the order today or tomorrow and they'll get here early next week.

Moon phases made simple...

Whats the bet it rains tomorrow??

where?

every where...
though it may only be a drizzle

Well you got it right down here, drizzly and cool with the chance of heavier raon the cards

I have had very little luck with direct sowing seeds. They always get burnt before they get going. I know I should be using more shade but would a vermiculite bed in the AP be worthwhile in getting the seeds started and then transferring them to where i want them?

No
I only direct sow well more 90%
Have you planted anything yesterday or today?

No i haven't as i have had salt at 5ppt for the last 2 or 3 weeks but i was about to go buy some plants tomorrow and just shove them in like i did the last lot. Some stuff did really well and some didn't but its an expensive hit and miss way to do it. I shall get hold of some varieties of seeds you recommended and setup some temporary shade where i plant them. Thanks for the help C1.
