Yes Sarico thats correct, as soon as they are big enough to eat pick them and leave the rest to grown on.

Your really getting into this lets hope for a half decent harvest.

i bought from a shop this seed disk that you put in a basket

Intriguing!
What flowers are they?


Don't worry about your English ~ it's 100% better than my Italian (and my other half's. He met an Italian friend of mine, very glamorous lady and tried his one Italian phrase on her. He thought he was saying she's lovely, but apparently it actually meant she had a beautiful "lady part").

petunia splendid mix.

It's not really warm enough for petunia yet
Have yours germinated?

[Sarico]

No I didn't use the petunia disk yet. And the other I only put yesterday and they are in my little greenhouse. I will try the petunia in couple of weeks.

Hi guy I need an other advice. I just bought a wireless thermometer with max and min temperature and I put it in one of my greenhouse. I record the temperature and I saw that night time is between 3-7 degrees . Because the new seeds in my propagator are already germinate I need space for them on my windowsill I was wondering if I could put some of my already potted seedling in there or not. The seedling are in a 10 cm pots and some have A small leaf coming through the middle of the two first leaves a dare tomatoes, sweet pepper, chilly, an aubergine, a one courgette. Thanks

I have planted baby carrots in a trough this year, never done them before, what are peoples experience on them germinating? I just kinda sprinkled them in two lines, quite a few of them, is that the best method?

^ the reasons people report non-germination of carrots is usually down to:

a) sowing in too cold a soil (they recommend at least 10c)
b) slugs eating them as soon as they germinate, even before you see any green yourself
