"TOMATOES"

well done Jaymie...
still now bub
tis one tired girl

well, Alex eats them

You're so good to your man...

So, has anyone that planted seeds in the last few day noticed sprouting?

...did anyone get a drizzle?

We did

So did we... and again tonight.... and yep...

C1 - there might be something in this moon phase planting.

On your advice, on Sunday I planted two types of cucumber seed in my dirt garden (a bit late in the season - but such is life). We had no rain and silly me didn't water in the seeds after planting. So on Thursday morning I headed down to the garden to give them a water. Low and behold - they had already sprouted. Pretty quick I reckon.

No suprise to me

Hi C1,
planted seeds (only) in my biggest GB (on 22/2/09) dwarf beans, brocco, marygold, 3 varieties
of lettuce, peas, capsicum......lettuce.... first plants (lettuce) emerging on Thursday (26/2) 1 bean on Friday - other beans prob. not the correct depth (too low - seed will rot; too high - seed will not germinate). Thumbs up for Moon Planting

Forecast for Adelaide:
Showers tomorrow & over next few days
Only have water in GB (to start seeds) will divert some water from pond into new GB to start cycling

Mostly (there are exceptions) the bigger the seed the longer the gernination period.
The depth on most larger seeds is about 2 times the size of the seed.
Length wise.

so when is the next time to plant please? (now that the seeds are here )

I planted into 2 different gb's with a day in between and there is a huge difference between the seedlings that have come up. Not sure which one I planted first.

I will have to consult the calendar.

My spring onions haven't shot yet - but hopefully they will still come.

Give it time..
or you can gently get a scoop of gravel
and see if there is a germination or 2.
I think onions take a while...
upto 21 days to emerge
