Jennie - I can only assume that the roots didn't get enough nutrient. They enjoy a heavier, richer soil that carrots, ideally, though I'm sure they are often grown together on a patch. A couple of top-dressings of fertiliser during the year should help.

Originally posted by scarey55 View PostI started mine off on wet kitchen roll (warm water) then covered the dish with cling film. A good proportion of them germinated, and I still have some left despite my best efforts to cook them in full sun in the mini greenhouse
The other thing I did - don't know if it helped, was to put the dish very close to my wood burner whilst it was on - do you have a boiler or somewhere warm where you could put them? I think they need sunlight too though.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
