Well.. two lots of different pepper seeds have failed to germinate, so tonight I took the matter in my own hands and sowed fresh seeds straight out of a pepper. I would normally not do that, but I don't take kindly to failure. So there.

And some tagetes/marigold from Lidl. I bet they will germinate *makes a face at the peppers*

Spring onions, broad beans, Chinese brocolli, more peas, beetroot and garlic chives.

Some Hungarian hot wax yellow chillies as my others didn't germinate. Hopefully I will have better luck now the heated propagator has arrived. Sowed a few odds and ends like radishes and lettuce this week and some chard and Pak choi yesterday in mods.
How long after sowing parsnips should I leave it before assuming they aren't growing? I put some in the ground 3-4 weeks ago and so far there's nothing. It's new seed so I'm confident that's not the problem.
