Are you certain that they are definitely the Minicole seedlings - I had a bad bag of compost last season and I had loads of small weed seedlings emerge before the true seedlings appeared.
If they are the true seedlings, sounds like a record to me - I know you can make parsley germinate really quickly by watering with very warm water, but never heard of it being a matter of hours for seedlings to emerge. Well done.Rat

Well done.Jiving on down to the beach to see the blue and the gray, seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!

Brassicas generally and cabbages especially, tend to be through fast, I sowed a lot of modules of various veg last weekend, 20-something varieties across 120 modules in the propagators, and the Kalibos cabbages were coming through by Wednesday evening, IIRC the Hispi's I sowed a few weeks agoi were up in days too.....

That's amazing! I'm waiting weeks for everything to germinate.
As you left a week between filling up the modules to settle the compost and sowing your cabbage seeds, could any other seeds have been sown in that time?pjh75
