Germination times

[palborn]

Does anyone know where I can find information on the germination times for veg seeds? I've sown a few but I'm not sure how long I should be leaving it before I can assume they're duff & not likely to germinate.

Hi palborn this site gives Days to Maturity: Germination times
Vegetable Gardening- How to Grow Vegetables, vegetable seeds, by the Gardener's Network

Also, temperature has a lot to do with germination, this site is also useful:

Dr Hessayon - The Vegetable Expert - available from all good bookshops. Also gives life expectancy of stored seed and estimated yield.

Thanks - that's great. I've even got the Hessayon book, but totally forgot to look there, doh!
