Nasturtium germintaions problems

[ysb33r]

I seem to have lots of issues getting nasturtiums to germinate this year

Out of everything that I have sown into paper pots in the mini-greenhouse, only one has come up. What can be the issue? Soil to wet maybe?

Should I maybe rub the seeds with sandpaper beforehand?

I am really confused at this point and are up for any ideas.

I save my nasturtium seeds from year to year and the germinate quite readily. They come faster if you soak them overnight before planting. When did you plant them. I wouldn't give up on them as I've never known nasturtiums not to come up. Good luck.

I can't get rid of the things - they self seed every year and I end up with loads of the things where I don't want them! When did you plant them, maybe you're just being impatient.

they are just the easiest things to grow - sorry, that's not helpful to you. I reckon you're over-watering

mmm... that might just be the case
