Is anyone else ridiculously optimistic?

[COMPOST CORNER]

I am, I believe, a reasonably intelligent person. I can even answer a question or two on universally challenged on BBC2.
I took an HND in Biological science when I was younger, So WHY OH WHY DO I CHECK FOR GERMINATION IN SEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN SOWN LESS THAN 24 HOURS EARLIER?

Mine are on the kitchen windowsill in front of me when I wash up, so........ I watch them all the time to see what is happening

Seed Fever

[Pumpkin Becki]

Its expectant father syndrome! I'm just the same (though not a father obviously!), I check my little babies constantly!! I haven't sewn anything yet this year but I know once I get started I won't be able to leave them alone.

[selfraising]

I can't help myself either. Don't just check once a day, oh no, at least 3 times if not more! Beginning to think I need counselling

[FionaH]

Yup me too!

[Patchninja]

You are not alone! Any minute now I will go slipping and sliding in the mud and rain down the garden to the greenhouse to gaze in awe and wonderment and my little seedlings!

[piskieinboots]

same here - you're in good company

[Hans Mum]

same here...OH doesnt get the excitement when one pops through...but its a harmless 'addiction'

[vegnut]

That's a thought. Just gonna check mine.

I think we need to set up a support group .Ooooh I think a bored bean my be finally showing it's face eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Glad it's not just me too ! I regularly take our baby up to see the propagators and the seedlings on the window sil. She tries to eat both - so she's a bit more impatient than I am!

[reetnproper]

Everytime I pass them by I'm peering into the propogators, even though I know that it takes a little bit longer than 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15, 20 ........ for ANY seed to germinate

[HeyWayne]

I haven't even sown anything yet and I'm optimistic!

Mine too.... I keep tapping the droplets of the prop lids. Don't know why......
